Answer:100

Explanation:

Suppose S is the set of number of first 300 natural number


S=\{1,2,3,4.......300\}

And A be the set of number divisible by 2


A=\{2,4,6.......300\}

so total element in A is
(300)/(2)=150

Let B be the set containing the element divisible by 3


B=\{3,6,9......300\}

So element in B is
(300)/(3)=100

But there are some element which is common in both A and B

so
A\cap B={6,12,18.......300}

Element in
A\cap B=(300)/(6)=50

and so number of elements which are less than 300 and neither divisible by 2 nor 3 is


=n(S)-n(A\cup B)


=300-(n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B))


=300-(150+100-50)


=300-200


=100
