How many integers between 324,700 and 458,600 have a 2 in the tens digit and a 1 in the units digit?
A 1,339
B 1,352
C 1,353
D 10,030
E 10,300

There is one number in hundred with 2 in th tens digit and 1 in the units digit: 21, 121, 221, 321, ...

The difference between 324,700 and 458,600 is 458,600-324,700=133,900 - one number per each hundred gives 133,900/100=1,339 numbers.

Answer: A.

Hope it's clear.

Using the probability method

N = 458,600 – 324,700 = 133,900
P = 1/10*1/10 = 1/100.

P*N = 1/100*133,900 = 1,339

And the answer is (A)

The first few integers that have this property are: 324,721, 324,821, 324,921, …. As we can see, this is an arithmetic sequence with common difference of 100. Since the last integer that has this property is 458,521, the number of integers that have this property is:

(458,521 - 324,721)/100 + 1 = 133,800/100 + 1 = 1,338 + 1 = 1,339

How many integers between 324,700 and 458,600 have a 2 in the tens digit and a 1 in the units digit?
A 1,339
B 1,352
C 1,353
D 10,030
E 10,300

Find the number of integers between the two.

458600-324700 = 133900. Now we need to figure out how many instances there will be a 2 in the tens and a 1 in the units. The easiest way to do this is to see that per 100 integers (0-100) only 21 suffices the conditions. Thus, per 100 integers there is only 1 instance.

133900/100 = 1339.

Since the questions asks about the no. between the two integers that means the first and last integer will not be included. How many integers are between 2 and 5 is not 5 -2 =3 because the no. of integers are 3 & 4 only. So, how did we derive at 133900?

The number of numbers in an interval between two different multiples of 100 which end in the two-digit number 21 is equal to the number of 100 digit intervals between those two multiples of 100.

Calculate the number of 100 digit intervals between those two numbers.

(458,600 - 324,700) / 100

= 4586 - 3247

= 1339

While counting the number of integers between 324700 and 458600 --> We should count all the numbers between 324701 and 458599 inclusive both, Then the total number should be 133899 and not 133900, Am i mistaken, Can you please help why it is 133900?­
