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: = 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 = = 36.
The total possibilities are hence: 3 * 36 = 108.
Now, the total number of ways of selecting 4 numbers from the given range, are: = 495.
The probability is hence 108/495 = 12/110.
