If a number \(n\) is chosen at random from the set \(\{11,12,13, \ldots \ldots, 30\}\). Then, the probability that \(n\) is neither divisible by 3 nor divisible by 5, is

  1. A \(\dfrac{13}{20}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{9}{20}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{7}{20}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{11}{20}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{11}{20}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The set of numbers is \(S = \{11, 12, 13, \ldots, 30\}\). The total number of elements in \(S\) is \(30 - 11 + 1 = 20\). Let \(A\) be the set of numbers in \(S\) divisible by 3. These are \(\{12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30\}\). The number of elements in \(A\) is \(n(A) = 7\). Let…
