Bola choose at random a number between 1 and 300. What is the probability that the number is divisible by 4?

A.

\(\frac{1}{4}\)

B.

\(\frac{4}{4}\)

C.

\(\frac{6}{4}\)

D.

\(\frac{7}{4}\)

E.

\(\frac{37}{149}\)

Correct answer is E

Numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 300 include 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 e.t.c.To get the number of figures divisible by 4, We solve by method of A.P

Let x represent numbers divisible by 4, nth term = a + (n - 1)d

a = 4, d = 4

Last term = 4 + (n - 1)4

296 = 4 + 4n - 4

= \(\frac{296}{4}\)

= 74
rn(Note: 296 is the last Number divisible by 4 between 1 and 300)

Prob. of x = \(\frac{74}{298}\)

= \(\frac{37}{149}\)
