Abstract: For a square-free integer $t$, Byeon cite{byeon} proved the existence of infinitely many pairs of quadratic fields $mathbbQ(sqrtD)$ and $mathbbQ(sqrttD)$ with $D>0$ such that the class numbers of all of them are indivisible by $3$. In the same spirit, we prove that for a given integer $tgeq1$ with $tequiv0pmod4$, a positive proportion of fundamental discriminants $D>0$ exist for which the class numbers of both the real quadratic fields $mathbbQ(sqrtD)$ and $mathbbQ(sqrtD+t)$ are indivisible by $3$. This also addresses the complement of a weak form of a conjecture of Iizuka in cite{iizuka}. As an application of our main result, we obtain that for any integer $tgeq1$ with $tequiv0pmod12$, there are infinitely many pairs of real quadratic fields $mathbbQ(sqrtD)$ and $mathbbQ(sqrtD+t)$ such that the Iwasawa $lambda$-invariants associated with the basic $mathbb{Z}_3$-extensions of both $mathbbQ(sqrtD)$ and $mathbbQ(sqrtD+t)$ are $0$. For $p=3$, this supports Greenberg's conjecture which asserts that $lambd{a}_p(K)=0$ for any prime number $p$ and any totally real number field $K$.
