    Answer: (D)
    Explanation: The numbers that
    are multiple of 3(from first 50
    natural numbers) are:
    3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18………………..48
    The numbers that are multiple of 4
    (from first 50 natural numbers)
    are:
    4, 8, 12, 16…………………….48
    The numbers that are multiples of
    3 and 4 both are the multiples of

    3×4=12 as both 3 and 4 are co-
    prime.

    So common multiples are:
    12, 24, 36, 48
    Therefore probability is:
    P (multiple of 3 and 4) = 4/50
    ⇒ P (multiple of 3 and 4) = 2/25
