Quantity A
Quantity B
4 times the number of integers in set T that are multiples of 4
5 times the number of integers in set T that are multiples of 5




A. Quantity A is greater.
B. Quantity B is greater.
C. The two quantities are equal
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


Main, we have to find the number of integers in each

(I) the number of integers in set T that are multiples of 4..
Quick way... There are \(\frac{100}{4}=25\)multiples. But take out 4 and 8, so 2 of them
Total 25-2=23..
A=4*23=92

(II) the number of integers in set T that are multiples of 5..
Quick way... There are \(\frac{100}{5}=20\)multiples. But take out 5 and 10, so 2 of them
Total 20-2=18..
B=5*18=90

A>B

Explanation::

To find out the multiples of a given number from a set = (Last number of the set i.e a multiple of the given number - First number of the set i.e a multiple of the same given number)/(Multiple of the given number)+ 1

Option A : multiple of 4 from 11 to 100, therefore : \({\frac{(100 - 12)}{4}}+ 1 = 23\) i.e. no. of integer that are multiples of 4 from 11 to 100 is 23)

Therefore 4 times the number of integers in set = \(4 * 23 = 92\)

Option B: multiple of 5 from 11 to 100, therefore :\({\frac{(100 - 15)}{5}}+ 1 = 18\) i.e. no. of integer that are multiples of 4 from 11 to 100 is 18)

Therefore 5 times the number of integers in set = \(5 * 18 = 90\)

Hence Option A is the answer

Use the arithmetic series formula

the first multiple of 4 from 11 to 100 is 12, and 100 is the last multiple

100=12+4(n-1)
88=4(n-1)
22= n-1
23=n
23*4=92

15 is the first multiple of 5 and 100 is the last multiple
100= 15+5(n-1)
85=5(n-1)
17=n-1
18=n
18*5= 90

92>90, A is greater
