Out of first 5 consecutive natural numbers, if two different numbers x and y are chosen at random, then the probability that x^4-y^4 is divisible by 5 is
Options
- A2 5
- B4 5
- C3 5
- D1 5
Correct answer
C. 3 5
Step-by-step solution
We know, if two numbers x and y are choosen at random without replacement from the set 1,2,3,4, . . 5 K , then the probability that x^4-y^4 is divisible by 5 is 17 K-5 5(5 K-1) Given set = 1,2,3,4,5 K=1 So, required probability = 17 1-5 5(5 1-1) = 12 5 4 = 3 5 .
