check this out: let x denote the number of even numbers in set N(where set N contains 40 integers), then the Pr(picking two numbers and both will be even) = C(x, 2) / C(40, 2) = x! / (2!(x-2)!) * 40! / (2!38!) = x(x-1) / 40*39 = 2/13 => x^2 - x = 240 => x^2 - x - 240 = 0 => (x-16)(x+15) = 0=> x = 16confirm: c(16, 2)/c(40, 2) = 2/13
