- 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 
sets of 
elements each:
How many of these sets contain exactly two multiples of 
?
Solution
We apply casework to this problem:
- The multiples of
are 
and 
- The multiples of are
and 
- The multiples of are
and 
and 
The first and eighth elements of such sets are multiples of 
The first element is 
for some integer 
The first element is a multiple of when 
and 
The second and ninth elements of such sets are multiples of The second element is 
for some integer
The second element is a multiple of when 
and 
The third and tenth elements of such sets are multiples of The second element is 
for some integer
The third element is a multiple of when 
Each case has 
sets. Therefore, the answer is
