Step-by-Step Solution

Multiples of 4: 10 of them. Multiples of 10: 4 of them. Multiples of both, i.e. of 20: 20 and 40, so 2. Numbers in at least one list = 10 + 4 - 2 = 12, so neither = 40 - 12 = 28 and answers the opposite event; forgets to subtract the 2 counted twice; ignores the multiples of 10 completely.
