JEE Main 2024 — 29 January, Shift 2 — Question 19

An integer is chosen at random from the integers 1 , 2,3,…,502,3, \ldots, 50. The probability that the chosen integer is a multiple of atleast one of 4,6 and 7 is

  1. Option A:

    825\frac{8}{25}

  2. Option B:

    2150\frac{21}{50}

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    950\frac{9}{50}

  4. Option D:

    1425\frac{14}{25}

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Given set ={1,2,3=\{1,2,3,….,50}50\}

P(A)=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})= Probability that number is multiple of 4 = 1250\frac{12}{50}

P(B)=P(B)= Probability that number is multiple of 6 = 850\frac{8}{50}

P(C)=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=Probability that number is multiple of 7 = 750\frac{7}{50}

P(A∩B)=450,P(B∩C)=150,P(A∩C)=150\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{4}{50}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})=\frac{1}{50}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{C})=\frac{1}{50}, P(A∩B∩C)=0\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})=0

Thus, P(A∪B∪C)=1250+850+750−450−150−150+0=2150\begin{aligned}& P(A \cup B \cup C)=\frac{12}{50}+\frac{8}{50}+\frac{7}{50}-\frac{4}{50}-\frac{1}{50}-\frac{1}{50}+0 =\frac{21}{50}\end{aligned}

2150\boxed{\frac{21}{50}}
