Numbers are selected at random one at a time,from the numbers 00,01,02,...99 with replacement.An event E occurs if and only if the product of the two digits of a selected number is 18.If 4 numbers are selected ,then the probability that E occurs at least 3 times,is

a)97/390625

b)68/390625

probability of picking a number whose product of 2 digits is 18=4/100=1/25

Probability of exactly 3 = 4C3 (1/25)3 (24/25)
Probability of exactly 4 = 4C4 (1/25)4

Take the sum.. u get the answer :)
