The correct answer is: 23

Given,

x is chosen at random from the set 1,2.3,4,

And y is chosen at random from the set 5,6,7,

Now given that xy will be even, then number of outcomes will be 1,6,2,5,2,6,2,7,3,6,4,5,4,6,4,78 outcomes

Now total sample space will be 4×3=12,

Now probability will be 812=23
