Q15 of 25 Page 15

A number is selected at random from first 50 natural numbers. Find the probability that it is a multiple of 3 and 4.

Concept Used:



A multiple of 3 and 4 means that the number should be multiple of both.


So, we have to find multiple of 3 × 4 = 12.


Explanation:


Total Possible outcomes = 50


Total favourable outcomes = 12, 24, 36, 48


Number of favourable outcomes = 4



Hence, the probability of getting a multiple of 3 and 4 is 2/25.
