Solution

The correct option is C
23300
Total numbers from 201 to 500 are 300.

Let A be the event of choosing the number between 201 and 500 such that it is a multiple of 13.

The numbers between 201 and 500 that are multiples of 13 are 208,221,234,,494.

Now, these numbers form an AP with a = 208 and d = 13.

Also, last term, l=a+(n1)d494=208+(n1)×13286=(n1)×13n=23

Number of outcomes favourable = 23


P(A)=Number of outcomes favourable to ATotal number of outcomes=23300

Hence, the correct answer is option c.
