as the question is to find out multiples of r between 16 and 260, we would not consider 16 and 260..
Thus, the possible multiples are 20, 24, 28.....256
As this is an AP we can find out the number of terms using the formula: Tn=A + (n-1)d
Answer is 60

an even simpler method is to just find out the numbers between 4 & 65, which would again be 60. Sorry for including unnecessary progressions and formulas and calculations...

for such questions the formula is [(last number - first number) / 4 ] +1 (for both inclusive)
= (260-16)/4 and add 1 to the solution
we get 62 multiples of 4 between 16 and 260 (inclusive)

for first and last number exclusive, the formula is (last number - first number) / 4 -1 (for in between first and last numbers)
= 260-16 / 4 and subtract 1 from the solution we get 60 multiples of 4 between 16 and 260 (both exclusive)

so inclusive is not mentioned here..
therefore 60

If you're not good at remembering formulas, then another option is to look for a pattern.
So, we want to know how many terms are in the sequence 20, 24, 28, . . .. 252, 256

Notice that:
20 = 4(5)
24 = 4(6)
28 = 4(7)
32 = 4(8)
.
.
.
252 = 4(63)
256 = 4(64)

So, the number of terms in the sequence 20, 24, 28, . . .. 252, 256 is equal to the number of integers from 5 to 64 inclusive.

Well we have a formula (an easy formula) for finding this. We know that the number of integers from x to y inclusive is equal to y-x+1

So, the number of integers from 5 to 64 inclusive is equal to 64-5+1 = 60

Or, if you wanted to continue without using a formula, the number of integers between 5 and 64 inclusive is equal to the number of integers between 1 and 60 inclusive (just subtract 4 from the start and end values), which is clearly 60.

Hi, Would this formulae help?
Last - First/Increment - 1 (Numbers inclusive)
Last - First/Increment + 1 (In between)
Thank you,
Vj
