The probability that a randomly selected2-digit number belongs to the setnN:2n-2is a multiple of3}is equal to

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Total two-digit numbers is 90

So, total number of cases =C190=90

Now, 2n-2=3-1n-2

=C0n3n-C1n·3n-1++-1n-1·Cn-1n3+-1n·Cnn-2

=33n-1-n3n-2++-1n-1·n+-1n-2

Here, the term -1n-2 should be multiple of 3.

So, 2n-2 is multiple of 3 only when n is odd.

There are total 45 odd two-digit numbers.

Hence, the required probability =C14590=4590=12
