Detailed Solution

Given, an integer is chosen at random between 1 and 100.
P(E)= n(E) n(S)  
To find the probability that the number is divisible by 8  .
The numbers between 1   and 100 which are divisible by 8   are {8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,88,96}   Total number of numbers which are divisible by 8 =12   Total number of numbers = 98 (excluding 1 and 100)
Probability of choosing a number that is divisible by 8
= 12 98 = 6 49    Total number of numbers which are not divisible by 8 = 86.
Probability of choosing a number that is not divisible by 8= 86 98    = 43 49  
The probability of choosing a number which is divisible by 8   is 6 49   and the probability of choosing a number which is not divisible by 8   is 43 49   .
Hence, the correct option is 1.
