Answer : 3. "2/3"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 2/3 Explanation: S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, .....18 } => n(S) = 18 E1 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18} => n(E1) = 9 E2 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 } => n(E2) = 6 E3 =E1∩E2={6, 12, 18} => n(E3) = 3 ∴E=E1 ∪ E2 = E1+E2-E3 => n(E) = 9 + 6 - 3 =12 where E = { 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 } ∴P(E)=n(E)n(S)=1218=23
