How many numbers between $1$ and $2005$ are integer multiples of $3$ or $4$ but not $12$?
$\textbf{(A) } 501 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 668 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 835 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 1002 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 1169$
To find the multiples of $3$ or $4$ but not $12$, you need to find the number of multiples of $3$ and $4$, and then subtract twice the number of multiples of $12$, because you overcount and do not want to include them. The multiples of $3$ are $\frac{2005}{3} = 668\text{ }R1.$ The multiples of $4$ are $\frac{2005}{4} = 501 \text{ }R1$. The multiples of $12$ are $\frac{2005}{12} = 167\text{ }R1.$ So, the answer is $668+501-167-167 = \boxed{\textbf{(C) } 835}$
