Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 72

There are floor(96/6) = 16 multiples of 6 and floor(96/8) = 12 multiples of 8. Numbers counted in both sets are multiples of lcm(6,8) = 24, giving floor(96/24) = 4. Hence |A ∪ B| = 16 + 12 − 4 = 24. The complement therefore has 96 − 24 = 72 elements, so option C is correct.
