Question

A box contains four slips numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and another contains three slips numbered 1, 2, 3. If one slip is taken from each, what is the probability of the product being even?

• A. 1/2
• B. 2/3
• C. 1/3
• D. 3/4

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 2/3

Box 1	Box 2	Product
1	1	1
1	2	2
1	3	3
2	1	2
2	2	4
2	3	6
3	1	3
3	2	6
3	3	9
4	1	4
4	2	8
4	3	12

Total number of outcomes = 12

number of even products = 8

P{getting even product} = 8/12

= 2/3
