Two natural numbers are chosen at random from 1 to 100 and are multiplied. If A is the event that the product is an even number and $B$ is the event that the product is divisible by 4 , then $P(A \cap \bar{B})=$
  1. $\frac{25}{198}$
  2. $\frac{49}{198}$
  3. $\frac{25}{99}$
  4. $\frac{50}{99}$

Solution

Total number of pairs from 1 to $100={ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_2$ $n(\mathrm{~A})=$ Total number of pair whose product is even $=\underbrace{50}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { one odds } \\ \text { one even } \end{array}} \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_1+\underbrace{{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_2}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { both } \\ \text { even } \end{array}}$ $n(B)=$ Total number of pair whose product is divisible by 4 $\begin{aligned} & \underbrace{5^0 \mathrm{C}_2}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { both are } \\ \text { even } \end{array}}+\underbrace{n(\mathrm{~A} \cap \mathrm{~B})={ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_2+{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_1 \times 25}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { one odd } \& \\ \text { one }\{4,8,12 \ldots 100\} \\ 50 \\ \mathrm{C}_1 \times 25 \end{array}} \end{aligned}$ $\therefore$ Required probability $=\frac{{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_1+{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_2-{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_2-{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_1+25}{{ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_2}=\frac{25}{99}$
