Problem
Rational numbers 
and 
are chosen at random among all rational numbers in the interval 
that can be written as fractions 
where 
and 
are integers with 
. What is the probability that
![\[(\text{cos}(a\pi)+i\text{sin}(b\pi))^4\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/8/7/887b74a71c3746ec5fd9fcee5cfd177bf7857b95.png)
is a real number?
$\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{3}{5} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{4}{25} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{41}{200} \qquad\textbf{(D)}}\ \frac{6}{25} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{13}{50}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
