The number of 3 digit numbers, that are divisible by either 3 or 4 but not divisible by 48 , is
  1. 472
  2. 432
  3. 507
  4. 400

Solution

We know that,

Total number of three digit number will be 999-99=900,

Now,

Number of 3- digit number which are divisible by 3 will be 9003=300,

Number of 3- digit number which are divisible by 4 will be 9004=225,

Number of 3- digit number which are divisible by 3 & 4 both will be 90012=75,

So , number of 3- digit number which are divisible by 3 or 4 will be 300+225-75=450,

Now, number of 3- digit number which are divisible by 48 is 90048=18

So, number of 3- digit number which are divisible by 3 or 4 but not 48 will be 

=450-18=432
