Detailed Solution

The Random experimnet is " Selecting two numbers at random from the set of first 100 natural numbers" 

Let S be the sample space, nS=100C2

Let E be the event of getting numbers whose product is divisible by 3. 

Hence, the event E be complement of event, getting two numbers which are not divisible by 3

hence, the number of favorable cases to the event E is nE=67C2

Hence, 

PE=nEnS =67C2100C2 =67·66100·99 =67150

Therefore, the required probability is 

    PE=1-PE =1-67150 =83150
