The following problem is from both the 2022 AMC 10B #8 and 2022 AMC 12B #6, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

Consider the following $100$ sets of $10$ elements each: \begin{align*} &\{1,2,3,\ldots,10\}, \\ &\{11,12,13,\ldots,20\},\\ &\{21,22,23,\ldots,30\},\\ &\vdots\\ &\{991,992,993,\ldots,1000\}. \end{align*}

How many of these sets contain exactly two multiples of $7$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 40\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 42\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 43\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 49\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 50$

Solution

We apply casework to this problem:

  1. The multiples of $7$ are $1\pmod{10}$ and $8\pmod{10}.$

    2. XXX

  2. The multiples of $7$ are $2\pmod{10}$ and $9\pmod{10}.$

    3. XXX

  3. The multiples of $7$ are $3\pmod{10}$ and $0\pmod{10}.$

    4. XXX
