  • $\frac{3}{14}$
  • $\frac{1}{5}$
  • None of these
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Understanding the Concept: Conditional probability = Favorable Total (given condition)

Step 1:
Condition: sum of digits = 8.
Possible pairs (tens, units): \[ (0,8),(1,7),(2,6),(3,5),(4,4) \]

Step 2:
Total outcomes = 5.

Step 3:
Product = 7 only for: \[ (1,7) \]

Step 4:
Favorable outcomes = 1.

Step 5:
Probability: \[ P = \frac{1}{5} \] Final Answer:
Answer = $\frac{1}{5}$
