what is the sum of all the numbers (less than 200) which leaves a remainder 2 when divided by EITHER 5 or 7. eg. 23,27 both will be considered.

• nos. divided by 7 leaving remainder 2 (< 200 )
  2,9,16,23,30, ...... , 198. (7*28=196)
  nos. divided by 5 leaving remainder 2 (< 200 )
  2,7,12,17,22,27,.........., 197. (5*39=195)
  nos which are common in both..
  2,37,72,107,142,177
  Sn= n/2(2a+(n-1)d))
  Sn1=29/2 *(4+(28)7))
  Sn2= 40/2*(4+(39)5))
  Sn3=6/2*(2*2+(5)35)
  Sn1+Sn2-Sn3=6343

• Ananya's answer is correct
  I was having a calculation problem :-)

• First find the l.c.m of 5,7=35. The no Q will be in the form 35p+2. Putting p=1,2 and so on we get the various values of Q which satisfy the above condition.putting p=1,2,3,.....5 then p will be 37,72,107,142,177 respectively...hence the sum is 535.

• sorry souparno
  this is not the correct answer.
  you have added 2,37,72 etc......(basically 7*5, 7*10, 7*15 etc.......) twice
  you need to subtract all these multiples.
  (Still i am not getting correct answer)

• I think Ananya's Ri8... It's bcoz we've 2 consider both nos. individually as given in qstn... Taking LCM z jst a part of the 3 options (considering 5, considering 7,LCM of 5,7).. so d ans z 6343...

• First upone u have calculate the lcm of 5and 7 =35
  then no=35p+2;.which satisfy the above condition.putting p=1,2,3,.....5 then p will be 37,72,107,142,177 respectively.which is less than 200.
  sum of those no is 37+72+107+142+177=535.
