3-digit numbers are formed using the digits 1,3,71,3,7 without repetition of digits. A number is randomly selected. What is the probability that the number is divisible by 3 ?

Options

  1. A0
  2. B13\frac{1}{3}
  3. C14\frac{1}{4}
  4. D18\frac{1}{8}

Correct answer

A. 0

Step-by-step solution

Total 3 digits numbers formed by 1,3,71,3,7 without repetition =3×2×1=6=3 \times 2 \times 1=6 Sum of digits =1+3+7=11=1+3+7=11 A number is divisible by 3 when the sum of digits of the number is either divisible by 3 or a multiple of 3 but 11 is neither the multiple of 3 nor divisible by 3 . ∴n(E)=0n(S)=6 Probability =n(E)n(S)=06=0\begin{aligned} & \therefore n(\mathrm{E})=0 & n(\mathrm{ S})=6 \\ & \text{ Probability }=\frac{n(\mathrm{E})}{n(S)}=\frac{0}{6}=0 \end{aligned}
