If a randomly selected positive single digit multiple of 3 is multiplied by a randomly selected prime number less than 20, what is the probability that this product will be a multiple of 45?

A. 1/32
B. 1/28
C. 1/24
D. 1/16
E. 1/14

There are 4 single digit multiples of 3 --> 0,3,6,9 [Since, 0 is a multiple of 3]
There are 8 prime numbers less than 20 --> 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19
Total number of multiplications = 8*4 = 32
Favorable outcomes = (All multiplications involving 0) AND (9*5) = 8+1 = 9 [Since, 0 is a multiple of 45]

Hence, the required probability is 9/32

Bunuel What am I getting wrong here?

Total =3 possibility * 8 possibility =24 possibility
Favorable = 1 possibility
