Let $A=\{n \in[100,700] \cap \mathrm{N}: n$ is neither a multiple of 3 nor a multiple of 4$\}$. Then the number of elements in $A$ is
Solution
<p>$n \in[100,700]$</p>
<p>$n(A)=$ Total $-$ (multiple of $3$ + multiple of 4) + (multiple of 12)</p>
<p>Total $=601$</p>
<p>Multiple of $3=102,105, \ldots, 699$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& n=699=102+(n-1) 3 \\
& \Rightarrow n=200
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Multiple of $4=100,104 \ldots ., 700$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& n=700=100+(n-1) 4 \\
& \frac{600}{4}+1=n \\
& \Rightarrow n=151
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Multiple of $12=108,120 \ldots .696$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& n=696=108+(n-1) 12 \\
& n=50 \\
& \therefore n(A)=601-(200+151)+50 \\
& =300
\end{aligned}$$</p>
