13. How many three-digit numbers are divisible by 7?
14. How many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 250?
Answers
13. The first three - digit number which is divisible by 7 is 105 and last three digit number which divisible by 7 is 994.
This is an A.P. in which a = 105, d = 7 and 1 = 994.
Let the number of terms be n then tn = 994.
nth term of A.P. = tn = a + (N - 1)d
994 = 105 + (n - 1)7
889 = 7(n - 1) => n - 1 = 127
n = 127 + 1 = 128
Ans:- There are 3 digits numbers which are divisible by 7.
14. The first multiple of 4 beyond 10 is 12.
The multiple of 4 just below 250 is 248.
∴ The A.P. is given by : 12, 16, ..... , 248
Here, a = 12 and d = 4.
Let the number of terms = n
∴ Using Tn = a + (n - 1) d, we get
Tn = 12 + (n - 1) × 4
=> 248 = 12 + (n - 1) × 4
=> (n - 1) × 4 = 248 - 12 = 236
=> n - 1 = 236/4 = 59 => N = 59 + 1 = 60
Thus, the required number of multiples = 60.
