Question

Arjit and Karan play a game where each one is asked to select a number from 1 to 5. If the two numbers match, both of them win a prize. The probability that they will not win a prize in a single trial is:

• A. 1/5
• B. 4/5
• C. 3/5
• D. 2/5
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

4/5

Total number of ways in which both of them can select a number each = 5$\times$5 = 25

Probability that they win the prize: $\frac{1}{5}$

Probability that they do not win a prize: $\frac{4}{5}$
