MCQ
Three integers are chosen at random from the first 20 integers. The probability that their product is even is,
  • A
    $\frac{2}{19}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{29}$
  • $\frac{17}{19}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{19}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{17}{19}$
Required probability that product of two integers should be even.
10 integers are odd out of first 20 integers.

Required probability = 1 - Probability of product is odd

Product of three integers is odd if two numbers are odd

Required probability $=1-\frac{10}{20}\times\frac{9}{19}\times\frac{8}{18}=\frac{17}{19}$
