If the probability that a randomly chosen 6-digit number formed by using digits 1 and 8 only is a multiple of 21 is p, then 96 p is equal to _______________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Total number of numbers from given

Condition = n(s) = 26.

Every required number is of the form

A = 7 . (10a1 + 10a2 + 10a3 + .......) + 111111

Here 111111 is always divisible by 21.

∴\therefore If A is divisible by 21 then

10a1 + 10a2 + 10a3 + ....... must be divisible by 3.

For this we have 6C0 + 6C3 + 6C6 cases are there

∴\therefore n(E) = 6C0 + 6C3 + 6C6 = 22

∴\therefore Required probability = 2226=p{{22} \over {{2^6}}} = p

∴\therefore 1132=p{{11} \over {32}} = p

∴\therefore 96p=3396p = 33
