If $4 -$ digit numbers greater than $5,000$ are randomly formed from the digits
$0,\,1,\,3,\,5,$ and $7,$ what is the probability of forming a number divisible by $5$ when, the repetition of digits is not allowed ?
When repetition of digits is not allowed The thousands place can be filled with either of the two digits $5$ or $7$ .
The remaining $3$ places can be filled with any of the remaining $4$ digits.
$\therefore$ Total number of $4\, -$ digit numbers greater than $5000=2 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2=48$
When the digit at the thousands place is $5$ , the units place can be filled only with $0$ and the tens and hundreds places can be filled with any two of the remaining $3$ digits.
$\therefore$ Here, number of $4 \,-$ digit numbers starting with $5$ and divisible by $5$
$=3 \times 2=6$
When the digit at the thousands place is $7$ , the units place can be filled in two ways ( $0$ or $5$ ) and the tens and hundreds places can be filled with any two of the remaining $3$ digits.
$\therefore$ Here, number of $4\,-$ digit numbers starting with $7$ and divisible by $5$.
$=1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 2=12$
$\therefore$ Total number of $4\,-$ digit numbers greater than $5000$ that are divisible by $5=6+12=18$
Thus, the probability of forming a number divisible by $5$ when the repetition of digits is not allowed is $\frac{18}{48}=\frac{3}{8}$.
A bag contains $3$ red, $4$ white and $5$ black balls. Three balls are drawn at random. The probability of being their different colours is
A bag contains $4$ white, $5$ red and $6$ green balls. Three balls are picked up randomly. The probability that a white, a red and a green ball is drawn is
A bag contains $3$ white and $7$ red balls. If a ball is drawn at random, then what is the probability that the drawn ball is either white or red
