    The sum of the integers from 1 to 100 which are not divisible by 3 or 5 is [MP PET 2000]

    A) 2489

    B) 4735

    C) 2317

    D) 2632

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[S=1+2+3+...........+100\]          \[=\frac{100}{2}(1+100)=50(101)=5050\] Let \[{{S}_{1}}=3+6+9+12+.........+99\]             =\[3(1+2+3+4+.........+33)\]             =\[3.\frac{33}{2}(1+33)=99\times 17=1683\] Let \[{{S}_{2}}=5+10+15+........+100\]             =\[5(1+2+3+........+20)\]             =\[5.\frac{20}{2}(1+20)=50\times 21=1050\] Let \[{{S}_{3}}=15+30+45+........+90\]             = \[15(1+2+3+........+6)\]             = \[15.\frac{6}{2}(1+6)=45\times 7=315\] \ Required sum =\[S-{{S}_{1}}-{{S}_{2}}+{{S}_{3}}\]                            =\[5050-1683-1050+315\]= 2632.
