Options

`1/6`

0
Solution
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`.
