Hundred identical cards are numbered from

   

. The cards The cards are well shuffled and then a card is drawn. Find the probability that the number on card drawn is:

   

a multiple of

   

   

a multiple of

   

Solution:

We kwon that, there are

   

cards from which one card is drawn.

Total number of elementary events

   

   

 From numbers

   

there are

   

numbers which are multiple of 5 i.e. 

   

   

So, favorable number of events

   

Hence, probability of selecting a card with a multiple of

   

   

From numbers

   

, there are

   

numbers which are multiple of

   

,

   

So, favorable number of events

   

Hence, probability of selecting a card with a multiple of
