In an office, every employee is given a UID number. An employee is from the technical branch if and only if UID is divisible by 5 whereas an employee is from the adjudication branch if and only if UID is divisible by 7. Every number from 1 to 200 is assigned as UID. An employee is female if and only if UID is divisible by 6 and rests are male. How many females are in the adjudication branch?

Every number from 1 to 200 is assigned as UID. An employee is female if and only if UID is divisible by 6 and rests are male. How many females are in the adjudication branch? Correct Answer 4
Given:
UID of technical branch employee is divisible by 5
UID of adjudication branch employee is divisible by 7
UID of female employee is divisible by 6
Concept Used:
Multiples of a in 1, 2, 3, …, n = n/a (Consider integer value only)
Where n and a are natural numbers
Calculation:
UIDs of females in the adjudication branch will be divisible by 7 and 6
Divisible by LCM of (7, 6)
⇒ Divisible by 42
Multiples of 42 in 1, …, 200 = 200/42 = 4
Here we Consider integer value only and ignore the remainder.
∴ Four females are in the adjudication branch.
