Solution

The number lies between 10 to 300, which when divided by 4 leaves the remainder 3 are 11,15,19,...299. Clearly, it is an AP with first term a=11, common difference d=4 and last term l=299.
Let the are n terms in the given AP.
Then, an=299
a+(n1)d=299
11+(n1)4=299n1=72n=73
Hence, there are 73 such terms.
