A. Either all the elements in the subset leave same residue by 3 or they leave residues 0,1 &2. Now consider 3 sets: {1,4...298}, {2,5...299},{3,6...300}. For first subcase, if all residues are equal, we get 3*100C3 choices. For different residues you get 100^3 choices (from each set, one.). B. Comes from A C. Absolutely true (Because you have to choose 3 elements from 300) D. (From A) False. So the answer is ABC?

ya the ans is abc firstly- by residues u mean remainder right, this took me a little while to get it secondly- our aim is to form a subset where total sum of no.s is a multiple of 3. C1 is if all remainders are equal, by this u mean ki all no.s come from 1 grp toh aise 3 case banenge and har grp mei 100 no.s so 3*100C3 choices third- this 100^3 is coming bc har ek set se ek no. to form the required set wht about the case where we choose 2 no.s from 1 grp and 1no.s from the remaining 3rd grp ?

Yep (Sorry I should have elaborated.). When we choose 2 numbers from 1 group and one from another it will not be a multiple of three.
