Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Here S={4,6,9}S = \{ 4,6,9\}

And T={9,10,11,  ......,  1000}T = \{ 9,10,11,\,\,......,\,\,1000\} .

We have to find all numbers in the form of 4x+6y+9z4x + 6y + 9z , where x,y,z∈{0,1,2, ......}x,y,z \in \{ 0,1,2,\,......\} .

If a and b are coprime number then the least number from which all the number more than or equal to it can be express as ax+byax + by where x,y∈{0,1,2, ......}x,y \in \{ 0,1,2,\,......\} is (a−1) . (b−1)(a - 1)\,.\,(b - 1) .

Then for 6y+9z=3(2y+3z)6y + 9z = 3(2y + 3z)

All the number from (2−1) . (3−1)=2(2 - 1)\,.\,(3 - 1) = 2 and above can be express as 2x+3z2x + 3z (say t).

Now 4x+6y+9z=4x+3(t+2)4x + 6y + 9z = 4x + 3(t + 2)

=4x+3t+6= 4x + 3t + 6

again by same rule 4x+3t4x + 3t , all the number from (4−1) (3−1)=6(4 - 1)\,(3 - 1) = 6 and above can be express from 4x+3t4x + 3t .

Then 4x+6y+9z4x + 6y + 9z express all the numbers from 12 and above.

again 9 and 10 can be express in form 4x+6y+9z4x + 6y + 9z .

Then set A={9,10,12,13, ...., 1000}.A = \{ 9,10,12,13,\,....,\,1000\} .

Then T−A={11}T - A = \{ 11\}

Only one element 11 is there.

Sum of elements of T−A=11T - A = 11
