Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

Numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 300 include 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 e.t.c.To get the number of figures divisible by 4, We solve by method of A.P

Let x represent numbers divisible by 4, nth term = a + (n - 1)d

a = 4, d = 4

Last term = 4 + (n - 1)4

296 = 4 + 4n - 4

= \(\frac{296}{4}\)

= 74
rn(Note: 296 is the last Number divisible by 4 between 1 and 300)

Prob. of x = \(\frac{74}{298}\)

= \(\frac{37}{149}\)
