Definitely it has a formula-

Multiple of x in the range = \(\frac{(last multiple of "x" in the range - first multiple of "x" in the range)}{x}\) +1


Now in the first case we need the multple of 4 in the range from 11 to 100, so applying the formula

Multiple of 4 = \(\frac{(96-12)}{4}+ 1\) (Last multiple of 4 in the range from 11 to 100 is 96 and the first multiple in the range is 12)

i.e equal to 22 nos.

In second case

Multiple of 5 = \(\frac{(100-15)}{5}+ 1\)

i.e equals to 17 nos.

Hence A > B

why Last multiple of 4 in the range from 11 to 100 is not 100 but 96

Yes you are right it is 100 and not 96.

So after calculation
A= 23 and B=17

Hence A>B

I guess multiples of 5 should 18 instead of 17 (100-15)/5 = 85/5 = 17 + 1 = 18

T{ 12,16,......100}
100=12+(n-1)4
n=23

T{15,20,25....100}
100=15+(n-1)5
n=18

Therefore A is greater
