Q41 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Sequences and Series

Let the sets A=2,4,6,8… and B=3,6,9,12… such that nA=200 and  nB=250. If nA∪B=k, then k100 is equal to

Correct answer: 3.84

Solution

Let, the last element of set A is, t200=2+200-12=400

and the last element of set B is t250=3+250-13=750

Common elements are →6,12,18…

We have to find the common elements upto 400
tn=6+n-16⇒400=6+6n-6 ⇒n=4006=66.6…
t66=6+66-16=396
Number of common elements =66

nA∪B=nA+nB-nA∩B
=200+250-66=384⇒k=384
⇒k100=3.84

Hence, the correct answer is 3.84.
