Detailed Solution

Let  Yi  be the subset of X such that  yi=7m+i,mI
 Y0={7,14,......98},n(Y0)=14 Y1={1,8,5......99},n(Y1)=15 Y2={2,9,16......100},n(Y2)=15 Y3={3,10,16......94},n(Y3)=14 Y4={4,11,18......95},n(Y4)=14 Y5={5,12......96},n(Y5)=14 Y6={6,13......97},n(Y6)=14
The largest Y will consist of (!) an element of  Y0(ii)Y1(iii)Y2(iv)Y3  or  Y4
 The maximum possible number of elements in Y=1+15+15=45
