One card is selected at random from 27 cards numbered form 1 to 27. What is the probability that the number on the card is even or divisible by 5.
  1. 1527
  2. 1627
  3. 1727
  4. 1827

Solution

Total numbers nS=27

Even numbers possible to get =2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26

nE=13

Number divisible by 5 will be =5,10,15,20,25

n5=5

Total possibility of getting even number or divisible by 5=nE5=16

therefore, Probability =nE5nS=1627
