Detailed Solution

The given set of numbers is 2,3,4,5,...,30

Composite numbers are 4,6,9,10,12,14,15,16,18.20,21,22,24,25,26,27,28,30

Let A be the event of getting a number which is composite number which are divisible by 5 or a prime number which is divisble by 3

The composite numbers which are divisible by 5 are 10,15,20,25,30

Prime numbers which are divisible by 3 is 3

Hence, nS=29 and nA=5+1=6

Therefore, 

          PA=nAnS =629
