A four digit number is formed by the digits with no repetition. The probability that the number is odd is
Explanation of the correct option:
Finding the required probability:
Let be the no. of ways in which a digit number can be formed using the given digit.
(as repetition is not allowed, so thousands place can be filled in four ways, hundreds place in three ways, and so on.)
Let be the event that the number formed is an odd number.
So, the units place can be filled in ways. (Using or )
The thousands place can be filled in ways. (by remaining three digits)
The thousands place can be filled in ways.
The tens place can be filled in way.
Therefore, the required probability is:
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
