If two numbers a and b are chosen from the set of integers 1 to 39 , then the probability that those numbers satisfy the equation 7 a-9 b=0 is
Options
- A1 742
- B4 743
- C4 741
- D5 741
Correct answer
C. 4 741
Step-by-step solution
Sample space for choosing two numbers from set of integers 1 to 39= ³⁹ C₂ Favourable elementary events are (a, b)=(9,7),(18,14),(27,21),(36,28) So, probability to satisfy the equation 7 a-9 b=0 is, = 4 ³⁹ C₂ = 4 741 .
