One possible position is shown alongside. Robin selects one of those positions at random. What is the possibility that the aircraft carrier occupies the square B3?

    A) \[\frac{1}{4}\]                          

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{7}{60}\]                        

    D)  \[\frac{1}{24}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d): \[n\left( E \right)=5~~~~~n\left( S \right)=120\] \[n\left( P \right)=\frac{5}{120}=\frac{1}{24}\]
