Detailed Solution

I) One ticket is randomly selected from  1 to 30,n(S)=30C1

i) A be the event of select a number which is multiple of 5

A={5,10,15,20,25,30}n(A)=6

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=630

B be the event of selecting a number which is multiple of 7

B={7,14,21,28}n(B)=4 P(B)=n(B)n(S)=430

AB is the event of both multiple of 5 and 7

AB=ϕ,n(AB)=0,P(AB)=0

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)=630+4300=1030=13

II) A be the event of selecting a no. which is multiple of 3

n(A)=10 P(A)=n(A)n(S)=1030

B be the event of selecting a no.which is multiple of 5

n(B)=6 P(B)=n(B)n(S)=630

AB is the event of multiple of both 3 & 5 

(AB)={15,30},n(AB)=2

P(AB)=230

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)=1030+630230=1430=715
