MCQ

Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
One ticket is drawn at random from a bag containing tickets numbered 1 to 40. The probability that the selected ticket has a number which is a multiple of 5 is:

✓
$\frac{1}{5}$
B
$\frac{3}{5}$
C
$\frac{4}{5}$
D
$\frac{1}{3}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$\frac{1}{5}$

Number of total outcomes = 40
Multiples of 5 between 1 to 40 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
$\therefore$ Total number of possible outcomes = 8
$\therefore\ \ \text{Reqired probability}=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}$
