Let $A=\{n \in[100,700] \cap \mathbb{N}: n$ is neither a multiple of 3 nor a multiple of 4$\}$. Then the number of elements in $A$ is
  1. 290
  2. 280
  3. 300
  4. 310

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n}(3) \Rightarrow \text { multiple of } 3 \\ & 102,105,108, \ldots . ., 699 \\ & \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{n}}=699=102+(\mathrm{n}-1)(3) \\ & \mathrm{n}=200 \\ & \mathrm{n}(3)=200 \\ & \because \mathrm{n}(4) \Rightarrow \text { multiple of } 4\end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & 100,104,108, \ldots ., 700 \\ & T_n=700=100+(n-1)(4) \\ & n=151 \\ & n(4)=151 \\ & n(3 \cap 4) \Rightarrow \text { multiple of } 3 \& 4 \text { both } \\ & 108,120,132, \ldots ., 696 \\ & T_n=696=108+(n-1)(12) \\ & n=50 \\ & n(3 \cap 4)=50 \\ & n(3 \cup 4)=n(3)+n(4)-n(3 \cap 4) \\ & \quad=200+151-50 \\ & \quad=301 \\ & n(\overline{3 \cup 4})=\text { Total }-n(3 \cup 4)=\text { neither a multiple } \\ & \text { of } 3 \text { nor a multiple of } 4 \\ & =601-301=300\end{aligned}$
