Return to Probability qn 1.
The probability that a number selected at random between 100 and 999 (both inclusive) will not contain the digit 7 is:
(a)<math>16/25</math> (b)<math>(9/10)^3</math> (c)<math>27/75</math> (d)<math>18/25</math>
First digit can be chosen in 8 ways from 1-9 excluding 7 Second digit can be chosen in 9 ways from 0-9 excluding 7 and similarly the third digit in 9 ways. So, total no. of ways excluding 7 = 8*9*9 Total no. of ways including 7 = 9 * 10 * 10 So, ans = (8*9*9)/(9*10*10) = 18/25
