How many integers between 10 and 20, inclusive, have a remainder of 1 or 2 when divided by 3 ?
A. 9 B. 8 C. 7 D. 4 E. 3
Key concept: When we divide an integer by 3, the remainder must be 0, 1 or 2 There are 11 integers from 10 to 20, inclusive Among those 11 integers, the numbers that leaves a remainder of 0 are: 12, 15, and 18 In other words, 3 numbers leave a remainder of 0 when divided by 3
11 - 3 = 8 So it must be the case that the remaining 8 integers leave a remainder of 1 or 2.

We need to find How many integers between 10 and 20, inclusive, have a remainder of 1 or 2 when divided by 3
Now, any number when divided by 3 will give us 0, 1 or 2 remainder Only those numbers which are multiples of 3 will give us 0 remainder, others will give us 1 or 2 remainder
=> Between 10 and 20 we can exclude all the multiples of 3 to get the answer
=> Exclude 12, 15, 18 => 3 numbers
=> Numbers which will give a remainder of 1 or 2 when divided by 3 = (20 - 10 + 1) - 3 = 8
So, Answer will be B Hope it helps!
