Detailed Solution

 Case I When digits are repeated.
Total four digit numbers which are greater than 5000 from the digits 0, 1, 3, 5,7 i.e. in thousand place, the 
number will be 5 or 7 and rest of three places any five numbers will come

5      5_×5_×5_1=124

(here, one is subtracted because one case is possible in which all the three place are occupied by the number zero.)
 7     5_×5_×5_=125
 Total four digit numbers, n (S) = 124 + 125 =249
Total four digit number which are divisible by 5.
i. e , In unit place number will be 0 or 5 and thousand
place the number will be 5 to 7. And rest of the two places any five numbers will be come.

Number of favorable cases, n(E) =24+25+25+25=99
Required probability =n(E)n(S)=99249=3383 

Case II When digit are not repeated.
Total four digit number which are grater than 5000
&om the digits 0, l,5,7,5 i.e, In thousands place, the
number will be 5 or 7. Since, the digit are not repeated,
then rest of the place may be filled by 4, 3, 2.
5 4_×3_×2_=24

7 4_×3_×2_=24
Total four digit number n(S) = 24 + 24 = 48
Total four digit numbers which are divisible by 5

Question Image


Favorable number of cases n(E)=6 + 6 + 6 = 18
.'. Required probability =1848=38
