Forming a four digit number using digits 1,2,3,4 and 5 without repetion is:
For last place, there are 5 ways, for 2nd last 4 ways, for 3rd last 3 ways and for the first place 2 ways.
Total number of ways = 5x4x3x2=120 ways
A number formed will be odd if the last digit is 1,3 or 5
So, there are 3 ways for the last place
4 ways for 2nd last place, 3 ways for 3rd last place and 2 ways for the first place
Total no. of ways of forming an odd no. = 3x4x3x2=72 ways

equals 72 over 120
equals 3 over 5
