- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Let among the integers from to .
-
We need:
-
Use the inclusion-exclusion principle:
-
Count each set:
- Multiples of up to :
- Multiples of up to :
- Multiples of up to :
-
Count pairwise intersections using LCM:
- are multiples of
- are multiples of
- are multiples of
-
Count the triple intersection:
- Multiples of
-
Substitute into inclusion-exclusion:
-
Therefore, the required probability is
-
Compare with options:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
Hence, the correct option is D.
