How many natural numbers are there between $\displaystyle 1$ and $\displaystyle 1000$ which are divisible by $\displaystyle 5$ but not by $\displaystyle 2$ ?
Marking-scheme solution
Numbers divisible by $\displaystyle 5$ but not by $\displaystyle 2$ :
\[\begin{array}{l}
5,15,25,35, \ldots, 995 \\
a=5, d=10, a_{n}=995 \Rightarrow a+(n-1) d=995 \\
5+(n-1) 10=995 \Rightarrow(n-1) 10=990 \\
\Rightarrow n-1=99 \Rightarrow n=100
\end{array}
\]
