Correct Answer - A The divisibility of the product of four numbers depends upon the value of the last digit of each number. The last digit of a number can be any one of the ten digits 0,1,2,..,9. So, the total number of ways of selecting last digits of four numbers is 10 × 10 × 100 × 10 = 10 4 10 . If the product of the 4 numbers is not divisible by 5 or 10, then the number of choices for the last digit of each number is 8 (excluding 0 or 5). So, favourable number of ways = 8 4 = . Therefore, the probability that the product is not divisible by 5 or 10 is ( 8 / 10 ) 4 ( Hence, required probability = 1 − ( 8 10 ) 4 = 369 625 =
