P(event) = (number of outcomes that meet the given condition)/(total number of possible outcomes)

So, P(selected number is divisible by both 2 and 3 OR is divisible by 7) = number of integers that are divisible by both 2 and 3 OR are divisible by 7/24

number of integers that are divisible by both 2 and 3 OR are divisible by 7
The integers that meet this condition are: 6, 7, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24
There are 7 such numbers

So, P(selected number is divisible by both 2 and 3 OR is divisible by 7) = 7/24

Answer: C
