hey check it out, here is the right ans,

nos that is div by 8 = 999/8 = 124

nos that is div by 12 = 999/12 = 83

nos that is div by both 12 & 8( tat is lcm of 12 and 8, rem that 24 is div by 12 and 8, so its not 12*8!)= 41

total nos ae = 124+83-41 = 166

they asked nos div by neither 12 nor 8, then.... 999-166=833

so the ans is 833!!

nos divisible by 12 bt 1 n 999 124

nos divisible by 8 bt 1 n 999 83

lcm of 8 n 12 24

nos divisible by 24 bt 1 n 999 41

ans 124+83-41 166

see the number that is neither divisible by 12 nor by 8 can be found out by a simple way

1st 12*8 96

between 1 & 999 we have 96 192 288 384 480 576 672 768 864 960 so this adds up to 10 numbers which are divisible by both 12 & 8

so just deduct this no. from total nos available 999-10 989

this is the no. of numbers which cannot be divided by both 12 & 8

there are 999/8 124 numbers divisable by 8

there are 999/12 83 numbers divisable by 8

and there are 999/(12*8) 10 no divisable by both

so number of numbers divisable by either 12 or 8 or both 124+83-10 197

therefore no. of numbers divisable by neither 8 nor 12 999-197 802 .Ans
