Detailed Solution

S= {1, 2, 3,………., 65} = ABCDE
Where A= { 5k/k=1,2, ……,13},
B= {5k+1/k=0, 1, 2 , ………..,12}
C= {5k+2/k=0, 1, 2 , ………..,12},
D= {5k+3/k=0, 1, 2 , ………..,12} and
E = {5k+4/k=0, 1, 2 , ………..,12}
n(A)=n(B)=n(C)=n(D)=n(E)=13 x, y S,(x  y) and
x4 y4 (x2 +y2 )(x +y)(x -y)  is divisible by 5 if i) both x, y  same set A or B or C or D or E ( x- y is divisible by 5) or
ii) x,y respectively belongs to (B,E), (C,D), (B,C),
(B,D), (D,E) or in reverse order[( x + y or x2 + y2 is divisible by 5] Required probability
=5×13C2+6×13C1×13C1×2 65C2=2740
