Total possible ways Shyam and Ekta can visit the shop = 5\times5 = 25

(1) Case that both will visit the same day.

Shyam can go on any day between Tuesday to saturday in 5 ways.

For any day that Shyam goes, Ekta will go on a different day in (5-1) = 4 ways.

Total ways that they both go in the same day = 5\times4 = 20 

\therefore P(both\ go\ on\ different\ days) = \frac{20}{25} = \frac{4}{5}
