Formula used:

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

Calculation:

On dividing 100 by 3 we get a quotient of 33

The number of multiple of 3, n(A) = 33

On dividing 100 by 4 we get a quotient of 25

The number of multiple of 4, n(B) = 25

LCM of 3 and 4 is 12

On dividing 100 by 12 we get a quotient of 8

The number of multiple of 12, n(A∩B) = 8

The number which is multiple of 3 or 4 = n(A∪B)

Now, n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

⇒ 33 + 25 - 8

⇒ 50

∴ The total number multiple of 3 or 4 is 50
