Question : How many natural numbers less than 1000 are divisible by 5 or 7 but not by 35?
Option 1: 243
Option 2: 341
Option 3: 285
Option 4: 313
Correct Answer: 285
Solution : The number of natural numbers less than 1000 that are divisible by 5. $⇒\left\lfloor\frac{999}{5}\right\rfloor = 199$ The number of natural numbers less than 1000 that are divisible by 7. $⇒\left\lfloor\frac{1000}{7}\right\rfloor = 142$ However, we've double-counted numbers that are divisible by both 5 and 7, i.e., numbers that are divisible by 35. There are $\left\lfloor\frac{1000}{35}\right\rfloor = 28$ such numbers. The total number of natural numbers less than 1000 that are divisible by 5 or 7 but not by 35 is $199+ 142 - 2\times28 = 285$ Hence, the correct answer is 285.
