Correct option is C
Given:
To find the number of 2-digit numbers divisible by both 2 and 4.
Concept Used:
A number divisible by both 2 and 4 is divisible by 4.
Formula Used:
For an arithmetic sequence, the n-th term is given by:
Solution:
The sequence of 2-digit numbers divisible by 4 forms an arithmetic sequence (AP) where:
The first term a = 12 (smallest 2-digit number divisible by 4).
The last term l = 96 (largest 2-digit number divisible by 4).
The common difference d = 4.
Now, substituting the values;
96 = 12 + (n – 1) × 4
96 – 12 = (n – 1) × 4
= (n – 1)
n – 1 = 21
n = 22
Thus, there are 22 two-digit numbers divisible by both 2 and 4.
