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 the same day in 1 way.

Total ways that they both go in the same day = 5\times1 = 5 

\therefore P(both\ go\ on\ same\ day) = \frac{5}{25} = \frac{1}{5}
