Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
(D) The sets $S$ and $T$ consist, respectively, of the positive multiples of $4$ that do not exceed $2005\cdot 4=8020$ and the positive multiples of $6$ that do not exceed $2005\cdot 6=12,030$. Thus $S\cap T$, the set of numbers that are common to $S$ and to $T$, consists of the positive multiples of $12$ that do not exceed $8020$. Let $[x]$ represent the largest integer that is less than or equal to $x$. Then the number of elements in the set $S\cap T$ is
$$\left[\frac{8020}{12}\right]=\left[668+\frac{1}{3}\right]=668.$$
(D) 集合 $S$ 和 $T$ 分别由不超过 $2005\cdot 4=8020$ 的 $4$ 的正倍数组成,以及不超过 $2005\cdot 6=12,030$ 的 $6$ 的正倍数组成。因此,$S\cap T$(同时属于 $S$ 和 $T$ 的数的集合)由不超过 $8020$ 的 $12$ 的正倍数组成。令 $[x]$ 表示不大于 $x$ 的最大整数(即向下取整)。则集合 $S\cap T$ 中元素的个数为
$$\left[\frac{8020}{12}\right]=\left[668+\frac{1}{3}\right]=668.$$
