Answer is 17.

# terms in the arithmetic progression from 1 to 49 with a difference 3 (inclusive)

49 - 1/3 + 1 = 17

OA:

if we arrange this in AP, we get
4+7+10+.......+49

so 4+(n-1)3=49: n=16
C is my pick

It is division and not modulo so I was wrong in including 1. With that correction I will get 16 as well.

Thanks 800

Guys,

The answer is 17. Remember that 1 divided by 3 also leaves a remainder of 1 . . . so we have

1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49

1/3 = 0R1

1 goes into 3, 0 times
1 minus 0 = 1.

I thought it was 17 too.

3x+1 from 0 to 50 like 1, 4, ..., 49
a total of 17 for x=0 to 16
