Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10

There are 15 numbers from 1 to 30 divisible by 2 and 10 divisible by 3. Numbers divisible by both 2 and 3, that is, divisible by 6, are counted twice; there are 5 of them. By inclusion–exclusion, |A| = 15 + 10 − 5 = 20. Since U has 30 elements, the complement has |A′| = 30 − 20 = 10 elements. Hence option A is correct.
