One ticket is selected at random from 50 tickets numbered \(\{00,01,02, \ldots . ., 49\}\). Then the probability that the sum of the igits on the selected ticket is 8 , given that the product of these digits is zero, is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{50}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{14}\)
  3. C \(\frac{14}{50}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{10}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{14}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(S=\{00,01,02, \ldots \ldots ., 49\}, n(S)=50 \)
\( E_1=\{08,17,26,35,44\}, n\left(E_1\right)=5 \)
\( E_2=\{00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,20,30,\) \(40\},n\left(E_2\right)=14 \)
\( E_1 \cap E_2=\{08\}, n\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right)=1 \)
\( \text { Required probability }=p\left(E_1 / E_2\right)=\frac{n\left(E_1 \cap E_2\right)}{n\left(E_2\right)}=\frac{1}{14}\)
