Someone is asked to take number from 1 to 100. The probablity that it is a prime, is

A

`(1)/(5)`

B

`(6)/(25)`

C

`(1)/(4)`

D

`(13)/(50)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Total numbers of outcomes=100
So, the prime numbers between 1 to 100 are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,56,61,67,71,73,79,83,and 97.
`therefore` Total number of possible outcomes=25
`therefore` Required probability=`(25)/(100)=(1)/(4)`
