If any four numbers are selected and they are multiplied, then the probability that the last digit will 1, 3, 5 or 7, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
16/625
Option C (16/625) is correct because the probability of the last digit being 1, 3, 5, or 7 is (2/5) for each number, and since four numbers are selected, the probability is (2/5)4.
