A box contains 90 discs which are numbered from 1 to 90. If one disc is drawn at random from the box, find the probability that it bears a number divisible by 5.

योग

उत्तर

Total number of discs = 90

Numbers that are between 1 and 90 and divisible by 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, and 90.

Therefore, total numbers divisible by 5 = 18

Numbers of favourable outcomes = 18

Probability of getting a number divisible by 5 =  `"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of possible outcomes" = 18/90 = 1/5`
