Let be the sample space of all five digit numbers. It is the probability that a randomly selected number from , is a multiple of 7 but not divisible by 5 , then is equal to :
- A1.0146
- B1.2085
- C1.0285
- D1.1521

Correct answer: C
- Total number of five-digit numbers
The sample space consists of all five-digit numbers, i.e. from to .
Hence,
- Count five-digit multiples of 7
We need numbers in divisible by .
- Smallest multiple of greater than or equal to :
so the first multiple is
- Largest multiple of less than or equal to :
so the last multiple is
Therefore, the number of five-digit multiples of is
- Count five-digit numbers divisible by both 7 and 5
A number divisible by both and must be divisible by
So we count five-digit multiples of .
- Smallest multiple of at least :
thus first such multiple is
- Largest multiple of at most :
thus last such multiple is
Hence, the number of five-digit multiples of is
- Count numbers divisible by 7 but not by 5
Required count:
- Compute the probability
- Compute
- Match with the options
which matches Option C.
