Quantitative Aptitude - Probability

1. A positive integer is selected at random and is divided by 7. What is the probability that the remainder is not 1?

  • Option : C

    Then, again from 8, remainder starts with a count 1, 2 ....
    Total favourable cases are 7 and in only 1 case remainder is 1. Thus, probability that the remainder is 1 = 1/7.
    ∴ The probability that the remainder is not 1
