Q9 of 69 Page 66

In the natural numbers from 10 to 250, how many are divisible by 4?

List of number divisible by 4 in between 10 to 250 are

12, 16,20,24,……….. 248


Let us find how many such number are there?


From the above sequence, we know that


tn = 248, a = 12


t1 = 16, t2 = 20


Thus, d = t2 – t1 = 20 – 16 = 4


Now, By using nth term of an A.P. formula


tn = a + (n – 1)d


we can find value of “n”


Thus, on substituting all the value in formula we get,


248 = 12 + (n – 1)× 4


248 – 12 = (n – 1)× 4


236 = (n – 1) × 4



n = 59 + 1 = 60
