Question

A integer is selected from first 50 numbers .find the probability whether it is divisible by 6 or 8

Answer 1

The integer is selected among first 50 (counting) numbers.

There are 8 multiples of 6 and 6 multiples of 8 under 50, and there are two numbers which are divisible by both 6 and 8(i. e., 24 and 48). So there are a total of 8 + 6 - 2 = 12 numbers which can be divisible by either 6 or 8 under 50. And that numbers are,

6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42, 48

So the probability is 12/50 = 6/25.
