Solution

The possible outcomes when a two-digit number is formed with the digits 2,5 and 7 are {25,27,52,57,72,75}. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes when a two-digit number is formed with the digits 2,5 and 7 is 6.

Now, the possible outcome of a number divisible by 3 is {27,57,72,75}, which means the number of favourable outcome is 4.

Therefore, probability P of a number divisible by 3 is:

P=46=23

Hence, the probability of a number divisible by 3 is 23.
