Numbers divisible by 3 are 1002, 1005, ....,2796,2799

Let total numbers be n, then

1002+n-1 3=2799 

n=600

Numbers divisible by 11 are 1001, 1012, ..., 2794

Let total numbers be m, then

2794=1001+m-111

m=164

Numbers divisible by 33 are

1023,1056,...,2772

Let total numbers be r, then

2772=1023+r-133

r=54

Number of 4-digit numbers that are less than or equal to 2800 and either divisible by 3 or by 11 , is equal to
