Tickets numbers from 1 to 20 are mixed up and a ticket is

Question:

Tickets numbers from 1 to 20 are mixed up and a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn has a number which is a multiple of 3 or 7?

Solution:

GIVEN: Tickets are marked from 1 to 20 are mixed up. One ticket is picked at random.

TO FIND: Probability that the ticket bears a multiple of 3 or 7

Total number of cards is 20

Cards marked multiple of 3 or 7 are 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 15 and18

Total number of cards marked multiple of 3 or 7 are 8

We know that PROBABILITY = 

Hence probability of getting a, multiple of 3 or 7 is
