Solution
Total number of tickets = 40.
Out of the given numbers, multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35.
Numbers of favourable outcomes = 5.
∴ P(getting a number which is a multiple of 7) = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 5/40 = 1/8`
Thus, the probability that the selected ticket has a number, which is a multiple of 7, is `1/8`.
Hence, the correct answer is option `1/8`.
