Let Sn = ∑k k∈[k=1,n] denote the sum of the first n positive integers. The numbers S1, S2, S3,…S99 are written on 99 cards. The probability of drawing a card with an even number written on it is – (A) 1/2 (B) 49/100 (C) 49/99 (D) 48/99

Answer»

Correct :- (C) 49/99

Explanation :-

1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36,45, 55,66,78,91,105 till 98 terms 

 48 terms are even and 48 terms odd

99th term = 99 x 100/2 =even

Total even terms = 48 + 1 = 49 

 Probability =49/99
