Answer:

  • 55 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 12 consecutive integers:

  • 3 - divide by 4, so the remainder is 0
  • 3- give remainder of 1
  • 3- give remainder of 2
  • 3 - give remainder of 3

Sum of 3 integers will be divisible by 4 if the remainders are:

  • 0 - 0 - 0 ⇒ 1 combination
  • 0 - 1 - 3 ⇒ 3*3 = 9 combinations
  • 0 - 3 - 1 ⇒ 3*3 = 9  combinations
  • 1 - 1 - 2  ⇒ 2*3 = 6  combinations
  • 1 - 2 - 1  ⇒ 2*3 = 6  combinations
  • 2 - 1 - 1 ⇒ 2*3 = 6 combinations
  • 3 - 0 - 1 ⇒ 3*3 = 9 combinations
  • 3 - 1 - 0 ⇒ 3*3 = 9 combinations

So total number of combinations is:

  • 1 + 4*9 + 3*6 = 55
