Condition 1 : John is placing a white stick per 3 pages...i.e. he'll put at all 3 multiples...i.e. at 3,6,12,.......48 and he can't put the white stick at 51...because the limit is 50 pages...
In total how many multiples of 3 till 50 => 50/3 = max we get 16 .... (count 3,6,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45 and 48 ) => we'll get 16.
Condition 2 : Now John is placing a black stick per 4 pages...i.e..he'll put at 4,8,12,16,20.....48 and he can't put the white stick at 51...because the limit is 50 pages..
In total how many multiples of 4 till 50 => 50/4 = max we get 12 .... (count 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44 and 48 ) => we'll get 12.
Now if you observe that we have common multiples or numbers for 3 and 4 ( take LCM of 3 and 4..we get 12...if we check multiples of 12 till 50..we get 12,24,36 and 48)...
=> 50/12 - max we get 4 i.e. 12,24,36 and 48 are common in 3 and 4.
we have total 4 numbers common.
Now use formula..
n(WUB) = N(W) + N(B) - N(W∩B) + Neither = > Total pages = only white + only black - both white and black + Neither...
50 = 16+12-4 +Neither.
Neither = 26.

==> n(3)=the number of pages with white sticks and n(4)=the number of pages with black sticks. If so, n(3U4)=n(3)+n(4)-n(3∩4)=16+12-4=24. However, the question is about the number of pages without white sticks and black sticks, so 50-24=26. C is the answer
