Answer 1

Hey !!

Answer:

$= \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number divisible by 6 from 1 to 100 = 6 , 12 , 18 , 24 , 30 , 36 , 42 , 48 , 54 , 60 , 66 , 72 , 78 , 84 , 90 , 96

Number divisible by 8 from 1 to 100 = 8 , 16 , 24 , 32 , 40 , 48 , 56 , 64 , 72 , 80 , 88 , 96

∴ Number divisible by 6 or 8 but not by 24  from 1 to 100 = 6 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 18 , 30 , 32 , 36 , 40 , 42 , 54 , 56 , 60 , 64 , 66 , 78 , 84 , 88 , 90.

∴ Required probability = $\frac{20}{100}$

        = $\frac{1}{5}$

Good luck !!
