Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 34

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider A and B be the events when the sum is obtained as 7 and 11 respectively. Number of times sum 7 and 11 occur are, n(A)={(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(4,3),(1,6),(6,1)}=6 n(B)={(5,6),(6,5)}=2 Now, the probability is, P(A)=636=16 P(B)=236=118 The probability when neither the sum…
