  1. A \(\frac{15}{61}\)
  2. B \(\frac{21}{61}\)
  3. C \(\frac{30}{61}\)
  4. D \(\frac{36}{61}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{30}{61}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For sum 6 possible combinations are \((1,5),(5,1)\), \(\begin{aligned} & (2,4),(4,2),(3,3) \\ & P(\text { sum } 6)=\frac{5}{36} \end{aligned}\) For sum 7 possible combinations are \((1,6),(6,1),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(4,3)\)…
