Tickets numbered 1 to 20 are mixed up and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn has a number which is a multiple of 3 or 5?

Correct Answer: 9/20

Explanation:

Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}.


Let E = event of getting a multiple of 3 or 5 = {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 20}.


P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 9/20.
