Since 2 is a factor of 8, every multiple of 8 will be a multiple of 2
Let us find the number of Multiples of 8 from 1-1000;
Multiple of a number n = \(\frac{L - F}{n} + 1\)
Where, L = Last number divisible by n in given terms
F = First number divisible by n in given terms
So, Multiples of 8 =\(\frac{1000 - 8}{8} + 1 = 125\)
Required probability = \(\frac{125}{1000} = \frac{1}{8}\)
Hence, option B
