How many numbers lie between 10 and 300, which divided by 4 leave a remainder 3? |
Answer» Here, the first number is 11, which divided by 4 leave remainder 3 between 10 and 300. And the next number is 15 and the next is 19 Last term before 300 is 299, which divided by 4 leave remainder 3. So, the list is 11, 15, 19, …, 299 Clearly, This is an AP With first term, a = 11 Common difference, d = 15 - 11 = 4 Last term, an = 299 Using the nth term formula an = a + (n - 1)d 299 = 11 + (n - 1) (- 4) 299 - 11 = (n - 1) (- 4) 288 = (n - 1) (- 4) n - 1 = 72 n = 73 So there are 73 numbers between 10 and 300 which leaves 3 as remainder when divided by 4. |
