Question : How many natural numbers are there between 1 and 1000 which are divisible by 5 but not by 2 ?


Doubt by CBSE

Solution : 

Natural numbers which lies between 1 and 1000 which are divisible by 5 but not by 2 are :
5, 15, 25, . . . 995

Here
a = 5
d = a2-a1
d = 15-5
d = 10
an=995

an=a+(n-1)d
995=5+(n-1)(10)
995-5=(n-1)10
990/10=n-1
99+1=n
100=n
n=100

Hence, there are 100 
natural numbers between 1 and 1000 which are divisible by 5 but not by 2.
