If two numbers \(a\) and \(b\) are chosen from the set of integers 1 to 39 , then the probability that those numbers satisfy the equation \(7 a-9 b=0\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{742}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{743}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{741}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{741}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{4}{741}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sample space for choosing two numbers from set of integers 1 to \(39={ }^{39} C_2\) Favourable elementary events are \[ (a, b)=(9,7),(18,14),(27,21),(36,28) \] So, probability to satisfy the equation \(7 a-9 b=0\) is, \[ =\frac{4}{{ }^{39} C_2}=\frac{4}{741} . \]
