Solution

The pointer can stop at one of the following regions:

A, A, B, C, D

Out of these 5 cases, it is possible only in 1 case that the pointer will stop at region D.

Therefore, the probability that the pointer will stop at Region D

= `("Favourable outcomes")/("Total number of outcomes")`

= `1/5`
