(d)

The number of numbers from 1 to 1000 divisible by 5 is 1000/5=200. If we want to count the number of numbers out of these, that are not divisible by 3, then we must remove those numbers that are divisible by both 3 and 5, those will be all the numbers that are divisible by 3*5=15, the number of such numbers is 1000/15=66. So, the answer is 200–66=134

OR

Total numbers less than 1000 which are divisible by 3 = [1000/5]=200

Total numbers less than 1000 which are divisible by 15 =[1000/15]=66

So total numbers less than 1000 which are divisible by 5 but not by 3 =20066=134

Therefore P(numbers between 1 to 1000 that is divisible by 5 but not by 3) =1341000=0.134
