NCERT Class X Chapter 5: Arithmetic Progression Exercise 5.2 Question 14

Question:

How many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 250?

Given:

The range of numbers is between 10 and 250. We need to find the number of multiples of 4 within this range.

To Find:

The number of multiples of 4 between 10 and 250.

Formula:

The number of multiples of i between a and b is given by \( \frac{m}{i} - \frac{n}{i} + 1\) where
m ≤ b and n ≥ a and are divisible by i.

Solution:

The smallest multiple of 4 greater than 10 is 12. 

The largest multiple of 4 less than 250 is 248.

The number of multiples of 4 between 10 and 12 can be calculated using the formula as:

  The number of multiples of 4 = \( \frac{248}{4} - \frac{12}{4} + 1\)

 
 The number of multiples of 4 = 62 - 3 + 1

 ⇒ 
The number of multiples of 4 = 60

Result:

Therefore, there are 60 multiples of 4 between 10 and 250.
