Question is: How many of the integers from \(20\) to \(99\) are either \(ODD\) or Divisible by \(4.\)
\(ODD=\dfrac{99-21}{2}+1=40\)
Divisible by \(4= \dfrac{96-20}{4}+1=20\)
Total\(=99-20+1=80\)
\(P= \dfrac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}}=\dfrac{40+20}{80}=\dfrac{60}{80}=\dfrac{3}{4}\)
Therefore, C
