Correct Answer - 33 100 33 Here, S = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , … , 99 , 100 } ⇒ n ( S ) = 100 . S Let E 1 = E event of getting a number divisible by 4. And, E 2 = E event of getting a number divisible by 6. Then, E 1 ∩ E 2 = E event of getting a number divisible by both 4 and 6, i.e., divisible by 12 (LCM of 4 and 6). ∴ E 1 = { 4 , 8 , 12 , ... , 100 } ⇒ n ( E 1 ) = 25 ∴ . E 2 = { 6 , 12 , 18 , . . , 96 } ⇒ n ( E 2 ) = 16 . E ( E 1 ∩ E 2 ) = { 12 , 24 , 36 , . . , 96 } ⇒ n ( E 1 ∩ E 2 ) = 8 . ( Now, use P ( E 1 ∪ E 2 ) = P ( E 1 ) + P ( E 2 ) − P ( E 1 ∩ E 2 ) . P
