Problem
Consider the following 
sets of 
elements each:
How many of these sets contain exactly two multiples of 
?
Solution 1
We apply casework to this problem. The only sets that contain two multiples of seven are those for which:
- The multiples of
are 
and 
That is, the first and eighth elements of such sets are multiples of 
- The multiples of are
and 
That is, the second and ninth elements of such sets are multiples of - The multiples of are
and 
That is, the third and tenth elements of such sets are multiples of
and 
That is, the first and eighth elements of such sets are multiples of 
The first element is 
for some integer 
It is a multiple of when 
and 
That is, the second and ninth elements of such sets are multiples of
The second element is 
for some integer It is a multiple of when 
and 
That is, the third and tenth elements of such sets are multiples of
The third element is 
for some integer It is a multiple of when 
Each case has 
sets. Therefore, the answer is 
~MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 2
Each set contains exactly 
or 
multiples of .
There are 
total sets and 
multiples of .
Thus, there are 
sets with multiples of .
