Question

A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing to one of the number $1,2,3,........,12$ as shown in figure.
What is the probability that it will point to multiple of $4$ ?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$
• E. $Noneofthese$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{4}$

Total numbers$=12$

Multiples of $4=4,8,12=3numbers$

So, the probability$=\frac{Numberofmultiplesof4}{Totalnumbers}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$
