A rational number is selected at random from the distinct rational numbers of the form \(\mathrm{p} / \mathrm{q}\) formed with p and q belonging to the set \(\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\). The probability that the rational number selected is a proper fraction, is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{11}{23}\)
  4. D \(\frac{13}{35}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{11}{23}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total distinct rational numbers \( \frac{p}{q} \) from \( p,q \in \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} \): \( 23 \) Distinct proper fractions (where \( p Probability \( = \frac{11}{23} \)
