The following questions have three statements. Study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question. Find the number of terms divisible by 4 or 6 between two numbers A and B. Statement I: Number of terms divisible by 4 and 6 are 49 and 33 respectively. Statement II: A = 100 and B = 300. Statement III: Number of terms divisible by 12 are 16.
The following questions have three statements. Study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question. Find the number of terms divisible by 4 or 6 between two numbers A and B. Statement I: Number of terms divisible by 4 and 6 are 49 and 33 respectively. Statement II: A = 100 and B = 300. Statement III: Number of terms divisible by 12 are 16. Correct Answer Either Statement I and III together or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
LCM of 4 and 6 is 12 so the terms which are divisible by 4 and 6 both will also be divisible by 12;
∴ Number of terms divisible by 4 or 6 = (No. of terms divisible by 4) + (No. of terms divisible by 6) – (No. of terms divisible by 12)
∴ Statement I and III will provide these values.
And
From statement II: We have the values of A and B, so we can find out the no. of terms divisible by 4, 6 and 12.
∴ Statement II will alone also give the answer.
∴ Either Statement I and III together or Statement II alone will be sufficient to answer the question.
