Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

the numbers from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.  n( total numbers) = 10

the odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9            n( odd) = 5

the prime numbers are  2, 3, 5, 7             n( prime) = 4

but total favourable outcome = ( 1,2,3,5,7,9) = 6

Pro( odd or prime no) =  \(\frac{6}{10}\) =  \(\frac{3}{5}\)
