Options:
A) $ \frac{12}{125} $
B) $ \frac{9}{125} $
C) $ \frac{3}{125} $
D) $ \frac{1}{125} $
E) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Number of ways of selecting 1 card from 250 cards
$ ={}^{250}C _1=250 $
The favourable case are {1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216} =6
$ \therefore $ Required probability $ =\frac{6}{250}=\frac{3}{125} $
