4-digit numbers are formed using the digits \(4,5,6,7,8,9\) allowing repetition of the given digits. If a number is chosen at random from those numbers thus formed, then the probability that it is exactly divisible by 3 is

  1. A \(\frac{7}{36}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{18}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If we form a 4-digit number by using the digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 allowing repetition, then we can categories the remainders on dividing by 3 as 0,1 or 2 , so the probability to form a number which is exactly divisible by 3 is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
