Let . Then the probability, that a randomly chosen number n from the set S such that , is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Prime factorization of
We first factorize: Since are distinct primes,
- Interpretation of the question
We choose a number uniformly at random from and want the probability that
This is exactly the count of integers between and that are coprime to , divided by .
So required probability is where is Euler's totient function.
- Compute
Using we get
Now simplify step by step:
Since we have So,
- Required probability
Hence, Reduce the fraction:
So the probability is
- Check options
- A: ✗
- B: ✗
- C: ✗
- D: ✓
Therefore, the correct option is D.
