        A and B play a game where each is asked to select a number from 1 to 25. If the two numbers match, both of them win a prize. The probability that they will not win a prize in a single trial is:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{25}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{24}{25}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{25}\]                               

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B
