From a collection of eight cards numbered 1 to 8 , if two cards are drawn at random, one after the other with replacement, then the probability that the product of numbers that appear on the cards is a perfect square is
  1. $\frac{3}{14}$
  2. $\frac{6}{13}$
  3. $\frac{3}{16}$
  4. $\frac{1}{16}$

Solution

Let $A=\{(1,1),(1,4),(2,2),(2,8),(3,3)(4,1)$, $(4,4),(5,5),(6,6),(7,7),(8,2),(8,8)\}$ Whose product is square number $\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{12}{64}=\frac{3}{16}$
