Let X be the set of all five digit numbers formed using 1, 2, 2, 2,...

Let XX be the set of all five digit numbers formed using 1,2,2,2,4,4,01, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 0. For example, 2224022240 is in XX while 0224402244 and 4442244422 are not in XX. Suppose that each element of XX has an equal chance of being chosen. Let pp be the conditional probability that an element chosen at random is a multiple of 2020 given that it is a multiple of 55. Then the value of 38p38p is equal to

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

First we will find the sample space in which the number of five-digit numbers are divisible by 55,

So, fixing zero at the last place we get,

−−−−0⏟\mathop{- - - - 0}_{⏟}

Now in first four place following number can take place,

2224→4!3!=4ways2224 \to \dfrac{4 !}{3 !} = 4\text{ways}

2244→4!2!2!=6ways2244 \to \dfrac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !} = 6\text{ways}

2221→4!3!=4ways2221 \to \dfrac{4 !}{3 !} = 4\text{ways}

2241→4!2!=12ways2241 \to \dfrac{4 !}{2 !} = 12\text{ways}

2441→4!2!=12ways2441 \to \dfrac{4 !}{2 !} = 12\text{ways}

So, total sample space will be 4+6+4+12+12=384 + 6 + 4 + 12 + 12 = 38

Now finding the number of favourable outcomes,

So, Number of five-digit numbers divisible by 55 but 'not' by 2020

Now fixing 1010 in last two places, we get

−−−10⏟\mathop{- - - 1 0}_{⏟}

So, the first three places can be occupied by,

222→1ways222 \to 1\text{ways}

224→3ways224 \to 3\text{ways}

244→3ways244 \to 3\text{ways}

So, total number of numbers which are divisible by 55 but not 2020 will be, 1+3+3=71 + 3 + 3 = 7

So, favourable number of five-digit numbers that are divisible by 55 and 20=38−7=3120 = 38 - 7 = 31

Hence, probability is given by, p=3138p = \dfrac{31}{38}

⇒38p=31⇒ 38p = 31
