Question

3 distinct integers are selected at random from 1, 2, 3,…, 20. The probability that the sum is divisible by 5 is

  1. fraction numerator 49 over denominator 285 end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator 29 over denominator 285 end fraction    
  3. fraction numerator 11 over denominator 285 end fraction    
  4. none of these.    

The correct answer is: fraction numerator 29 over denominator 285 end fraction


    1.The no. of ways of choosing 3 distinct integers from 1, 2, 3,...,20 is scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 20 end presuperscript subscript 3 end subscript
    equals fraction numerator 20.19.18 over denominator 1.2.3 end fraction equals 20 cross times 57 equals 1140
    Now arrange the given numbers as below.

    The sum of three digits is divisible by 5 in the following cases:
    Two nos. from first row and one number from 3rd row or one number from 1st row and two nos. from 4th row or three nos. from 5th row or one number from each (1st row, 4th row, 5th row)
    Then the no. of favourable ways is
    equals scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 2 end subscript cross times scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 1 end subscript plus scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 1 end subscript cross times scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 2 end subscript plus scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 3 end subscript plus scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 1 end subscript cross times scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 1 end subscript cross times scriptbase C end scriptbase presuperscript 4 end presuperscript subscript 1 end subscript
    equals 24 plus 24 plus 4 plus 64 equals 116
    Hence reqd. prob. equals fraction numerator 116 over denominator 1140 end fraction equals fraction numerator 29 over denominator 285 end fraction.
