It isn't mentioned whether  exactly two or two or more shall be considered. I'm assuming exactly two. Note that in such questions, it is normally assumed so.

Answer: 12/110.

[9, 20]

The numbers divisible by 5 in this range are 10, 15 and 20.

We'll first include any two out of these, by selecting: ^3C_{2} = 3.

Next, we'll have to select 2 more, which are not divisible by 5, to satisfy the criteria that exactly 2 out of the 4 we select are.

These shall be selected from a subset of 9 numbers.

Hence, number of ways of selecting = ^9C_{2} = 36.

The total possibilities are hence: 3 * 36 = 108.

Now, the total number of ways of selecting 4 numbers from the given range, are: ^1^2C_{4} = 495.

The probability is hence 108/495 = 12/110.


Shareshep: 9 and 20 are included
VedaantArya: Okay. and shall I consider exactly or >= 2?
VedaantArya: *And
VedaantArya: I've assumed exactly 2, and updated. Kindly check the answer.
