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: 1/2

Explanation:

Multiples of 3 below 20 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
Multiples of 5 below 20 are 5, 10, 15, 20
Required number of possibilities = 10
Total number of possibilities = 20
Required probability = 10/20 = 1/2.
