Correct option is B
Given:
the range of numbers from 3 to 39, and we need to remove all the odd numbers, leaving only the even numbers.
Concept Used:
The even numbers between 3 and 39 form an arithmetic sequence, starting at 4 and ending at 38, with a common difference of 2.
Formula Used:
For AP series ,
l = a + (n -1)d
where, l = last term, a = first term, n = no. of terms, d = common difference.
Solution:
Here given that, range 3 to 39 with no odd numbers
So, numbers are 4 , 6 , 8 ............ 38.
Now, a = 4 , d = 2, l = 38
substituting the values
38 = 4 + (n - 1)2
38 - 4 = (n - 1)2
n - 1 =
n = 17 + 1
n = 18
Thus, there are 18 numbers between 3 to 39 after removing odd numbers.
