Options
`1/5`
`3/5`
`4/5`
`1/3`
Solution
One ticket is drawn at random from a bag containing tickets numbered 1 to 40. The probability that the selected ticket has a number which is a multiple of 5 is `underlinebb(1/5)`.
Explanation:
Number of total outcomes = 40
Multiplies of 5 between 1 to 40 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
∴ Total number of possible outcomes = 8
∴ Required probability = `8/40`
= `1/5`
