If $p$ is selected from the set ${1, 2, 3, . . . . . .100}$ , then the probability of selecting $p$ such that the number $2^{p} + 3^{p} + 5^{p}$ is divisible by $4$ is

Solution

For $p = 1$
$2 + 3 + 5 = 10$ which is not divisible by $4$ .
For $p \geq 2$
$2^{p} + (4 - 1)^{p} + (4 + 1)^{p} = (- 1)^{p} + (1)^{p} + 4 n; n \in I$
So this will be divisible when $p$ is odd except $1$
Required number of $p$ is $49$
Total possible values of $p$ is $100$
$P (e) = \frac{49}{100} = 0.49$
