Correct answer
C1.0285

Step-by-step explanation

Given, five-digit number,

So nS=total 5 digit number will be=9×104

Now let A: number is multiple of 7 but not divisible by 5

Smallest 5 digit divisible by 7 is 10003

Largest 5 digit divisible by 7 is 99995

Now by using nth term of A.P formula we have,

  99995=10003+n-17

n=12857

Now finding number which is divisible by 35

Again using A.P formula we have,

99995=10010+P-135

P=2572

Now number divisible by 7 but not by 35 are

12857-2572=10285

So, probability will be P=1028590000

And 9P=1.0285
