Options
- A1 14
- B3 14
- C1 5
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. 1 5
Step-by-step solution
Total number of cases = ⁵⁰ C ₁=50 Let A be the event of selecting ticket with sum of digits ' 8 '. Favourable cases to A are 08,17,26,35,44 . Let B be the event of selecting ticket with product of its digits ' 7 ' Favourable cases to B is only 17 . Now, & aligned P(B / A) & = P(A B) P(A) & = 1 / 50 5 / 50 = 1 5 aligned
