Answer
Since, there are 30 identical cards.
No. of possible outcomes = 30.
(i) Cards numbered 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30 are multiple of either 4 or 6.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 10.
P(getting a card which is a multiple of 4 or 6) = .
Hence, the probability of drawing a card which is a multiple of 4 or 6 = .
(ii) Cards numbered 15, 30 are multiple of 3 and 5.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 2.
P(getting a card which is a multiple of 3 and 5) = .
Hence, the probability of drawing a card which is a multiple of 3 and 5 = .
(iii) Cards numbered 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 30 are multiple of either 3 or 5.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 14.
P(getting a card which is a multiple of 3 or 5) = .
Hence, the probability of drawing a card which is a multiple of 3 or 5 = .
