The probability that a randomly chosen integer will end in 0 is \(\frac{1}{10}\). If two integers are chosen at random, what is the probability that at least one of them will end in 0?

A. \(\frac{1}{2}\)

B. \(\frac{1}{10}\)

C. \(\frac{1}{100}\)

D. \(\frac{19}{100}\)

E. \(\frac{81}{100}\)

one with 0 ; 1/10
not 0 ; 9/10
so atleast 1 is 0 ending
1/10 * 9/10 + 1/10*9/10 + 1/10 * 1/10 = 19/100
IMO D

Hi EgmatQuantExpert , Bunuel, and other Quant experts,
Please tell me where am I going wrong:

The probability that at least one of the 2 chosen integers end in zero = 1-the probability that none of them end in zero
Selecting 2 out of 9 numbers that dont end in zero = 9C2
Total ways of choosing 10 numbers = 10C2
Thus, the probability that none of them end in zero = 9C2/10C2
Therefore, The probability that at least one of the 2 chosen integers end in zero = 1-9C2/10C2 = 1/5
I know there is some error in my logic. Please help me identify it.
Thanks

In case anyone reading this thread is wondering why this approach is not correct: 9C2 is the number of ways to choose two different things from a group of nine things, if you don't care about order. But in this question, we aren't required to choose two different integers (and it's not even clear from the wording how large this set of integers is that we're selecting from, so even if we were choosing two different integers, we wouldn't be able to answer the question without more information).
