Ticket numbered 1 to 20 are mixed up and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn bears a number which is a multiple of 3 or 7?

Question

Accepted Answer

Clearly, n(S) = 20 and E = { 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 7, 14 } i.e., n(E) = 8 ∴ P(E) = n(E)/ n(S) = 8/20 = 2/5
