­i feel like the question statement is a little ambigious, cause a person can think of 'N' to be 38 x 13 
­That would not be correct. Why should n be 38*11? What in the question indicates that? Nothing really.

1,2,3....38*13, (39*13-1)


=(40-1)*13=520-13=507/11=46

Official Solution:

List K consist of n consecutive positive integers: \(\{1, 2, 3, ..., n\}\). If the list contains exactly 38 multiples of 13, what is the maximum number of multiples of 11 it can contain ?

A. 40
B. 44
C. 45
D. 46
E. 47


We aim to maximize the number of multiples of 11 in the list while ensuring there are exactly 38 multiples of 13. To achieve this, we can design a list where \(n\) is the closest multiple of 11 that is less than the 39th multiple of 13. The 39th multiple of 13 is \(39*13 = 507\). The closest multiple of 11 less than 507 is 506 (to find this, observe that 440 and 66 are both multiples of 11, hence \(440 + 66 = 506\), is also a multiple of 11.). Therefore, \(n= 506\). In this scenario, the list will contain exactly 38 multiples of 13 and the maximum number of multiples of 11 possible.

In this setup, the number of multiples of 11 in the list would be:

\(\frac{last \ multiple \ of \ 11 \ in \ the \ list - first \ multiple \ of \ 11 \ in \ the \ list}{11} +1 = \frac{506 - 11}{11} +1 = 46\).

I don’t quite agree with the solution. solution can be 47 right. we can take the list till 519 and have an additional multiple of 11 with list having still the exactly same numbers of multiple of 13. pls explain where am i wrong

You are wrong here. If the list goes up to 519, then 507 is included, and since 507 = 13 * 39, the list contains 39 multiples of 13, not exactly 38.
