Multiple of 3 - 3,6,9,12,15,18,21 - 7 numbers.
Probability is 7/23.
Multiple of 4 - 4,8,12,16,20 - 5 numbers.
Probability is 5/23.
Multiple of both 3&4 - 12 - 1 number.
Probability is 1/23.

P(3 U 4) = P(3) + P(4) - P(3 and 4)
= 11/23

C is the answer

Afc0892 why have you subtracted P of both 3 & 4?

Afc0892 why have you subtracted P of both 3 & 4?

Because u are right about these statements:

There are 5 numbers who are a multiple of 4, including 12.

There are 7 numbers who are a multiple of 3, including 12

However, the multiple of 3&4 = 12. So when the number is 12 it is a multiple of 3, a multiple of 4 and a combined multiple of 3 & 4.

There is still only one card numbered “12” in the deck of 23 cards.

So the total of numbers is multiples of 3 ONLY (without 12) + multiples of 4 ONLY (without 12) + combined multiple of 3&4 (12).

This is: 6+4+1 = 11 numbers
Probability is 11/23 as there are 23 cards.

This results in C

Hope that makes sense
