उत्तर

In a lucky draw, there are 5 gifts and 25 blanks. The probability of getting a gift is `underline(1/6)`.

Explanation:

Number of gifts = 5

Number of blanks = 25

So, total number of packs = 5 + 25 = 30

Thus, P (getting a gift)

P(E) = `"Number of gifts"/"Total number of packs"`

= `5/30`

= `1/6`

Thus, the probability is `1/6`.
