How many natural numbers are there between 23 and 100 which are exactly divisible by 6 ?
8
11
12
13
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Required numbers are 24, 30, 36, 42, ..., 96

This is an A.P. in which a = 24, d = 6 and l = 96

Let the number of terms in it be n.

Then tn = 96    a + (n - 1)d = 96

24 + (n - 1) x 6 = 96

(n - 1) x 6 = 72

(n - 1) = 12

n = 13

Required number of numbers = 13.

How about this one?

100-23 = 77 divided it by 6 77/6 = 12.83 round off 13.

24+(n-1)6 = 96.

= n-1 = 12.

= n = 13.
