If G is to be chosen at random from the set {5,8,7,1} and K is to be chosen at random from the set {14,8,3}, what is the probability that GK will be even?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 1
B) 5
C) 8
D) 4
E) 3

Rationale: method - 1 gk will be even when 1 ) g is even and k is odd , probability of g even is ( 1 / 4 ) and probability of k odd is ( 1 / 3 ) , so probability of case ( 1 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) = ( 1 / 12 ) 2 ) g is odd and k is even , probability of g odd is ( 3 / 4 ) and probability of k even is ( 2 / 3 ) , so probability of case ( 2 ) = ( 3 / 4 ) * ( 2 / 3 ) = ( 6 / 12 ) 3 ) g is even and k is even , probability of g even is ( 1 / 4 ) and probability of k even is ( 2 / 3 ) , so probability of case ( 1 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) * ( 2 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 12 ) total favorable probability = ( 1 / 12 ) + ( 6 / 12 ) + ( 2 / 12 ) = ( 12 / 12 ) = 1 answer : option a
