Total number of integers from 600 to 899 = 899 - 600 +1 = 300

Number of integers that don't contain 7 or 8 in digit = 1 x 8 x 8 = 64

Number of integers contain 7 or 8 in digit = 300 - 64 = 236

The answer is B

Brother, how did you get 1×8×8 =64?

How many integers from 600 to 899, inclusive, contain 7 or 8 in digit?

(A) 220

(B) 236

(C) 238

(D) 240

(E) 242


Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions


From 600 to 899, we have 300 integers (600 - 699, 700 - 799 and 800 - 899)
The hundreds place can be taken by 6/7/8.
Tens and units place by any one of the 10 digits 0-9.

All 200 numbers of 700 and 800 series will have 7 or 8 in them.
There are many integers in the 600 series too that will have 7 and 8 in them including lots of overlap such as 678 and 687.
Easier way to calculate is to find the integers that do not have 7 or 8 in them.
How can we make a 3 digit number of 600 series without 7 and 8.

6 __ __

There are 8 ways for tens place (no 7, no 8) and 8 ways for units place (no 7, no 8). Hence, 8*8 = 64 integers out of these 100 will not have a 7 or an 8. Hence 36 numbers will have 7 and/or 8.

Total 200 + 36 = 236 numbers out of these 300 will have a 7 or an 8.

Answer (B)
