the sum of all even numbers from to inclusive, excluding those which are multiples of .

We have to find the number of terms that are divisible by but not by ( as the question asks for the even numbers only which are not divisible by )
For ,

using AP formula, we can say

            The  RIGHT  WAY  to solve the problem is  THIS : 

            Calculate the sum of all even integers from 4 to 100 inclusively, and then subtract from it 
            the sum of all multiples of 6 from 6 to 96.

            Below is how I implemented it. 


(a)  the sum of all even integers from 4 to 100 inclusively is


         4 + 6 + 8 + . . . + 100 =  = 2548.    


              (49 is the number of terms in this arithmetic progression).

 
(b)  the sum of all multiples of  6  from  6 to  96  inclusively is


         6 + 12 + 18 + . . . + 96 =  = 816.    


              (16 is the number of terms in this arithmetic progression).



     In both cases (a) and (b), I applied the formula for the sum of the first "n" terms of an arithmetic progression.



(c)  The difference  2548 - 816 = 1732  is your  ANSWER.

Solved.

Surely,  counting  "by hands"  (as the other tutor did)  is not the way to solve this problem.
