  • A
    $\frac{1}{18}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{36}$

$A$ box contains coupons labelled $1, 2, 3, \ldots, n$. $A$ coupon is picked at random and the number $x$ is noted. The coupon is put back into the box and a new coupon is picked at random. The new number is $y$. Then,the probability that one of the numbers $x, y$ divides the other is (in the options below $[r]$ denotes the largest integer less than or equal to $r$)

Let there be three independent events $E_{1}, E_{2}$ and $E_{3}$. The probability that only $E_{1}$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $E_{2}$ occurs is $\beta$ and only $E_{3}$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let $p$ denote the probability that none of the events occur,which satisfies the equations $(\alpha - 2\beta)p = \alpha\beta$ and $(\beta - 3\gamma)p = 2\beta\gamma$. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0, 1)$. Then,$\frac{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_{1}}{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_{3}}$ is equal to ..........
