Detailed Solution

Given, probability of bad pens = 0.25.  Total number of pens = 400.
The P(A) of the random experiment is,
P(A)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes
Suppose, the number of bad pens is y.
So, the number of the bad pens is,
P(E)=n(X)n(S)
0.25=y400
y=100
Thus, the total number of the good pens are, 400 - 100 = 300
Therefore, the number of the good pens in the lot are 300.
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
