Answer: D

To find the probability that a randomly selected 22-digit number is not divisible by 77, we can use the following steps:

Step 1: Find the total number of 22-digit integers
The 22-digit integers range from 1010 to 9999 inclusive.
Total 2-digit integers (N)=99−10+1=90\text{Total } 2\text{-digit integers } (N) = 99 - 10 + 1 = 90

Step 2: Find the number of 22-digit integers divisible by 77
The multiples of 77 that are 22-digit numbers are:
14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77,84,91,9814, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98 These can be represented as 7×k7 \times k, where kk ranges from 22 (since 7×2=147 \times 2 = 14) to 1414 (since 7×14=987 \times 14 = 98).
Number of multiples (n)=14−2+1=13\text{Number of multiples } (n) = 14 - 2 + 1 = 13

Step 3: Find the number of 22-digit integers NOT divisible by 77
Favorable outcomes=90−13=77\text{Favorable outcomes} = 90 - 13 = 77

Step 4: Calculate the probability
Probability=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=7790\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{77}{90}

Hence, the correct option is D.
