Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Number Theory
Number Theory - Finding the number of integers divisible by 3 or 4

Given 0.25 ≤ 2x
0.25 = \\frac{1}{4}) =(\\frac{1}{2}))2 = 2-2
Similarly, 26 = 64, 27 = 128, 28 > 200
Substituting the values and checking for divisibility
Number of Integers x = 5

The question is "The number of integers x such that 0.25 < 2x < 200, and 2x + 2 is perfectly divisible by either 3 or 4, is [TITA]"

Hence, the answer is 5 integers
