Analyzing the Setup (Set A)
We start with the set A={n∈N∣n2≤n+10,000}. To simplify this, we rearrange the inequality to:
Factoring the expression, we obtain n(n−1)≤10,000. We are looking for the product of two consecutive integers that does not exceed 10,000.
Taking the square root of 10,000 gives 100. Testing the boundary, if n=100, then 100×99=9,900, which is valid. If n=101, then 101×100=10,100, which exceeds the threshold. Thus, Set A consists of natural numbers from 1 to 100.
The Sieve of Sets (B - C)
Next, we consider B={3k+1∣k∈N} and C={2k∣k∈N}. The operation B−C removes all even numbers from B.
For an element 3k+1 to be odd, 3k must be even. Since 3 is odd, k must be even. Let k=2m, where m∈N.
Substituting this into the general term, we get:
This confirms that the elements of B−C are of the form 6m+1.
The Hidden Arithmetic Progression
We now find the intersection A∩(B−C). Given A={1,2,…,100} and B−C={7,13,19,…}, we require:
Since m must be a natural number, m∈{1,2,…,16}. This forms an Arithmetic Progression (AP) where the first term a=6(1)+1=7 and the last term l=6(16)+1=97.
The number of terms in this progression is n=16.
Final Calculation
The sum of an AP is given by the formula:
Substituting our identified values into the equation:
The final sum is 832.
