A remainder of 1 when divided by 2

=> We are looking for odd numbers

A remainder of 2 when divided by 3

=> Number, n = 3k + 2 (where k is an integer)

A remainder of 4 when divided by 5

=> Number, n = 5t + 4 (where t is an integer)

=> n = 3k + 2 = 5t + 4
=> 5t = 3k - 2
=> t = \(\frac{3k - 2}{5}\)

Now, only those non-negative values of k which will give t also as an integer and give odd values of n are possible

  • We looking for multiples of 3 which have 2 or 7 in the units' digit so that 2-2 or 7-2 will be a multiple of 5, but we also looking at odd values of n
  • If 3k is even then n = 3k + 2 = even, which is not possible as we need odd number
  • So, we need to look for units' digit of 7 for multiple of 3

=> k = 9 => as 3k = 27 (units' digit of 7) => n = 3*9 + 2 = 29
=> k = 19 => as 3k = 57 (units' digit of 7) => n = 3*19 + 2 = 59
=> k = 29 => as 3k = 87 (units' digit of 7) => n = 3*29 + 2 = 89
Looking at the pattern next value of n will be 89 + 30 = 129 which will be a 3 digit number

=> 3 values are possible.

So, Answer will be C
Hope it Helps!

Could you let me know if this makes sense or is it conceptually unsound?

For 1st case (Remainder 1 when divided by 2)

90/2 = 45 numbers

For 2nd Case (R 2 divided by 3)

First number for this case = 11
Last number = 98

Number of digits of this sort = 30

Similarly for 3rd Case --> We have 18 numbers of this sort

Total types of numbers of this kind

45 - 30 - 18 = -3 but i took the absolute value as number of digits can't be negative.
