Question : Ramu had to select a list of numbers between 1 and 1000 (including both), which are divisible by both 2 and 7. How many such numbers are there?
Option 1: 142
Option 2: 71
Option 3: 97
Option 4: 642
Correct Answer: 71
Solution : The numbers that are divisible by both 2 and 7 = 2 × 7 = 14 The smallest number divisible by 14 = 14 The largest number divisible by 14 = 994 (nearest to 1000) Let the required number be $n$. Now, $a_n=a+(n-1)d$, where $a_n$ = last term, $a$ = first term $d$ is the common difference. ⇒ $994=14+(n-1)14$ ⇒ $984=14+14n-14$ ⇒ $984=14n$ $\therefore n=71$ Hence, the correct answer is 71.
