If B₁ = {x : x ∈ ℕ, x is a multiple of both 10 and 15, and x < 100}, how many elements are in B₁?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 3
The least common multiple of 10 and 15 is 30, so every common multiple is a multiple of 30. The positive multiples of 30 that are less than 100 are 30, 60, and 90. The next multiple, 120, is not less than 100. Thus B₁ = {30, 60, 90}, and its cardinality is 3, so option B is correct.
