A non-zero integer x is selected randomly from the set of integers x∈ℤ|-25≤x≤25,x≠0. The probability that x+6≤135x is

  • A
    1225
  • Correct answer
    B
    25
  • C
    35
  • D
    1425

Solution

x∈Z but x≠0 where x∈Z

-25≤x≤25

Now, x+6≤135x 

⇒ x2+6x-135x≤0

⇒x+15x-9x≤0

The solution set is x∈(-∞,-15]∪(0,9]

Given that x∈ℤ|-25≤x≤25,x≠0

Common interval is x∈-25,-15∪(0,9]

Total number of integers in (0, 9] and -25 ,-15 are

9+11=20 

Total numbers in sample space, -25≤x≤25, x≠0 are 50

Favourable outcomes=20

Probability =number of favourable outcomes total outcomes

Probability=2050=25                    

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
