An integer is chosen at random from the integers 1, 2, 3, . . . . ....

An integer is chosen at random from the integers 1,2,3,.....,501, 2, 3, . . . . . , 50. The probability that the chosen integer is a multiple of atleast one of 4,64, 6 and 77 is

Options

  1. A825\dfrac{8}{25}
  2. B2150\dfrac{21}{50}
  3. C950\dfrac{9}{50}
  4. D1425\dfrac{14}{25}

Correct answer

B. 2150\dfrac{21}{50}

Step-by-step solution

Let A={1,2,3,4,5,.........,50}A = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . . . . . . . . , 50\right\}

Now, the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 44 will be P(4)=1250P\left(4\right) = \dfrac{12}{50}

Similarly, the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 66 will be P(6)=850P\left(6\right) = \dfrac{8}{50}

And the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 77 will be P(7)=750P\left(7\right) = \dfrac{7}{50}

Also, the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 4 and 64 \text{ and } 6 will be P(4∩6)=450P\left(4 \cap 6\right) = \dfrac{4}{50}

And the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 6 and 76 \text{ and } 7 will be P(6∩7)=150P\left(6 \cap 7\right) = \dfrac{1}{50}

And the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 4 and 74 \text{ and } 7 will be P(4∩7)=150P\left(4 \cap 7\right) = \dfrac{1}{50}

And finally, the probability of choosing a number which is a multiple of 4,6 and 74, 6 \text{ and } 7 will be P(4∩6∩7)=0P\left(4 \cap 6 \cap 7\right) = 0

Hence, P(4∪6∪7)=1250+850+750−450−150−150+0P\left(4 \cup 6 \cup 7\right) = \dfrac{12}{50} + \dfrac{8}{50} + \dfrac{7}{50} - \dfrac{4}{50} - \dfrac{1}{50} - \dfrac{1}{50} + 0

⇒P(4∪6∪7)=2150⇒ P\left(4 \cup 6 \cup 7\right) = \dfrac{21}{50}
