Solution



Given:
    • A bowl contains numbered tiles labelled with integers from 1 to 100, inclusive.

To find:
    • The probability of selecting a tile with a three on it

Approach and Working:
In the range between 1 to 100, inclusive, we have either 1-digit numbers or 2-digit numbers of 3-digit number.

Considering all the 1-digit numbers,
    • Number of numbers with the digit 3 = 1

Considering all the 2-digit numbers,
    • Number of numbers with digit 3 only in the units place = 8 (13, 23, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93)
    • Number of numbers with digit 3 only in the tens place = 9 (30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
    • Number of numbers with digit 3 in both units and tens place = 1 (33)

Considering all the 3-digit numbers, there is no such number in the given range with the digit 3.

So, total number of instances = 1 + 8 + 9 + 1 = 19
Therefore, the required probability = \(\frac{19}{100}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Answer: C

Total number of outcomes = 100
Count number of times 3 appears between 1 to 100 = 3,13,23,43,53,63,73,83,93,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39
=19
Therefore Prob = 19/100
Answer C
