140. A box contains cards marked with numbers 5 to 20. A card is drawn from the bag at random. Find the probability of getting a number which is a perfect square.

Total number of possible outcome(s) are 16 i.e., n(S) = 16

Let A be the favourable outcomes of getting getting a number which is perfect square. Then A = (9,16) i.e., n(A) = 2

Therefore,
