Question and options

The probability that a randomly chosen positive divisor of 10202310 ^ {2023} is an integer multiple of 10200110 ^ {2001} is
  1. 222023\dfrac{22}{2023}
  2. 23220242\dfrac{23^2}{{2024}^2}
  3. 222024\dfrac{22}{2024}
  4. 22220232\dfrac{22^2}{{2023}^2}

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - \(\dfrac{23^2}{{2024}^2}\)
10^2023 = 2^2023 5^2023 has 2024^2 divisors. Multiples of 10^2001 need both exponents in 2001..2023: 23 choices each, 23^2. Probability 23^2/2024^2.
