Hey !

96-1+1=96 - is the quantity that represents all possibilities of n.

we have n(n+1)(n+2) (call it T) - consecutive integers!
btw, also notice that there are 12 multiples of 8 at 1-96.
For T to be divisible by 8, it is necessary that at least one of its factors be the multiple of 8.
let's figure it out.
for n- we have 12 possibilities
for (n+1) - also 12 possibilities
for (n+2) - 12 possibilities
if n is odd, such as 7, n(n+1) might be the multiple of 8. so, also 12 possibilities.
If N is even, n(n+2) also might be a multiple.

So, we have 12*5=60 , possible solutions for T in order to be divisible by 8.

The probability will then be - 60/96- or 10/16 or 5/8.
I hope i didn't mix smth up.
What is the OA?
