Step-by-step explanation
Total number of numbers from given
Condition = n(s) = 26.
Every required number is of the form
A = 7 . (10a1 + 10a2 + 10a3 + .......) + 111111
Here 111111 is always divisible by 21.
If A is divisible by 21 then
10a1 + 10a2 + 10a3 + ....... must be divisible by 3.
For this we have 6C0 + 6C3 + 6C6 cases are there
n(E) = 6C0 + 6C3 + 6C6 = 22
Required probability =
