Answer.   [A]
Solution.  Probability: probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.
Total tickets = 40
Number of tickets multiple of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
Total favourable cases = 8
Let A be the event of getting a ticket with number multiple of 5.
p(A) = \frac{Number\, of\, tickets\, the\, bought}{Total\, tickets}
p\left ( A \right )= \frac{8}{40}= \frac{1}{5}
