Consider the numbers from 1 0 0 to 5 0 0 , which are divisible by 7.
The numbers are 1 0 5 , 1 1 2 , 1 1 9 , 1 2 6 , . . . . . . . . , 4 9 7 .
Here we use A.P. in order to find the number of terms.
t n = a + ( n − 1 ) d ⟹ 4 9 7 = 1 0 5 + ( n − 1 ) × 7 . ⟹ n − 1 = 5 6 ∴ n = 5 7 .
Therefore, There are 5 7 numbers which are divisible by 7 within 1 0 0 − 5 0 0 .
Now we come to the numbers divisible by 2 1 .
The numbers divisible by 2 1 are 1 0 5 , 1 2 5 , . . . . . . . . , 4 8 3 .
Same as the above case. Here also we use A.P.
t m = a + ( m − 1 ) d ⟹ 4 8 3 = 1 0 5 + ( m − 1 ) × 2 1 . ⟹ m − 1 = 1 9 ∴ m = 1 9 .
We require the numbers between 1 0 0 and 5 0 0 which are divisible by 7 and not by 2 1 .
Required solution = n − m = 5 7 − 1 9 = 3 8 .
