Out of first 5 consecutive natural numbers, if two different numbers x and y are chosen at random, then the probability that \(x^4-y^4\) is divisible by 5 is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) We know, if two numbers \(x\) and \(y\) are choosen at random without replacement from the set \(\{1,2,3,4, \ldots .\). \(5 K\}\), then the probability that \(x^4-y^4\) is divisible by 5 is \(\frac{17 K-5}{5(5 K-1)}\)…
