Cards are numbered from 12 to 51. Two cards are drawn one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that one card is a multiple of 6 and the other card is a multiple of 8.

  1. A \(\dfrac{4}{65}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{3}{52}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{7}{156}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{8}{195}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{8}{195}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of cards is \(51 - 12 + 1 = 40\). Let \(A\) be the set of cards which are multiples of \(6\) and \(B\) be the set of cards which are multiples of \(8\). \(A = \{12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48\} \Rightarrow n(A) = 7\) \(B = \{16, 24, 32, 40, 48\} \Rightarrow n(B) = 5\)…
