Q673

A.
107
B.
141
C.
144
Answer
D.
145

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Number which is divisible by 3

⇒ Number which is divisible by 7

(∴ If 1st number is totally divisible by 7 then we add +1 in final result)
⇒ Number which is divisible by 21 (LCM of 3 or 7)

∴ Number which is divisible by 3 or 7
(i) + (ii) - (iii)
(83 + 36) - 12 = 119 - 12 = 107
Total number from 700 to 950
n = (950 - 700) + 1 = 251
∴ Number which is neither divisible by 3 nor 7
⇒ 251 - 107 = 144
