The correct answer is: \(\frac{19}{500}\)
The perfect cube numbers are in given set \(\{1,2,3,4, \ldots \ldots, 100\}\) are \(1,8,27,64,125,216\), \(343,512,729,1000\) and the natural numbers having odd number of division are perfect square numbers and the perfect square numbers in given set are \(1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100,121,144\), \(169,196,225,256,289,324,361,400,441,484\), \(529,576,625,676,729,784,841,900,961\).
So required probability is \(\frac{10+31-3}{1000}=\frac{38}{1000}=\frac{19}{500}\).
