Detailed Solution

According to the question, two friends visit a shop five days in a week.
So, total outcomes will be
5×5=25 .
Since,
P (Visiting on different day) =1P (visiting on same day).
Then, the probability that both will visit the shop on the same day,
  = Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes
  = 5 25 = 1 5
And the probability that both will visit the shop on a different day,
= 1 5 25 = 4 5
The probability that both will visit the shop on a different day = 4 5 .
Therefore, option 4 is correct.
