Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

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

  1. A 300 Correct answer
  2. B 310
  3. C 290
  4. D 280

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>
