A number is divisible by both 2 and 3 if it is divisible by 6. There are 16 such numbers in 1 to 100.(6,12,18,24....,96). So all my numbers should be from these 16 numbers, which can happen in 16c3 ways. But total number of possible choice is 100c3. So probability is 16c3/100c3

There are 16 numbers divisible by 6 Thus probability that 3 numbers are divisible by both 2 and 3 = 16C3/100C3 = (16*15*14)/(100*99*98) = 4/(5*33*7) = 4/1155 = 0.0035

if a number has to be divisible by both 2 and 3 then it should be divisible by 6 (LCM(2,3)=6). Now all multiples of 6 from 1 to 100 are divisible by both 2 and 3 and there are16 multiples of 6. Therefor probability is 16/100

Sample Space will be multiple of 6 because numbers divided by 6 are the only numbers divided by 2 and 3. So Multiple of 6 below 100 are {6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72,78,84,90,96} =16 numbers Probability = 16/100 If it has 2 or 3 then it would have been different case :)

Probability that the number is divisible by both 2 and 3== proability that the number is divisible by 6=> # of numbers divisible by 6 and < 100 = 16 Probability = (16C3)/(100C3)
