This is officially my first post! Hello to everybody!
I have quite a different answer which can be wrong, please correct me.
LCM 7 & 8 is 56.
3 digit --> Min 100
Max 999

So : 999/56 = 17,8
100/56 = 1,7

17,8-1,7 =~ (almost) 16.

Ans B.

Hi Incommunity. Nothing wrong in the answer you've got, because the smallest and the largest values (100 and 999) are both not divisible by 56.

Suppose the same question had asked how many multiples of 56 are there from 112 till 952 and you had done it as 952/56 - 112/56, then your answer would have come as 15, which would be incorrect, in which case you would want to use the counting principle as shown.

Hope this helps

It says divisible by 7 or 8 => (/ by 7 having rem as 4) Union (/ by 8 having rem as 4)
Which means divisible by 7 having rem as 4 + divisible by 8 having rem as 4 - divisible by 56 having rem as 4

Is my understanding incorrect

The solutions I think are for 7 and 8. 7 or 8 means 7 union 8.
