Correct answer: D
-
Write the two arithmetic progressions explicitly
-
Set consists of the first terms of the AP with first term and common difference .
So
-
Set consists of the first terms of the AP with first term and common difference .
So
-
-
Use inclusion-exclusion
We need
Since each set has elements,
So the main task is to find .
-
Find common terms of the two APs
A number common to both sets must satisfy and
Since , this is
Let us solve this congruence.
Write Then
Since the inverse of modulo is (because ), we get
So and hence
Therefore the common terms form an AP: with common difference .
-
Count how many common terms lie in both first 2025 terms
Since both sets are truncated to their first terms, a common term must not exceed the last term of either AP.
-
Last term of :
-
Last term of :
So a common term must be at most (the smaller upper bound).
Thus we count terms of
Solve:
Hence
Number of such integers is
Therefore,
-
-
Apply inclusion-exclusion
