Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let two dice are rolled, the total number of outcomes is 36 . The outcomes when we get a total score as prime number are \((1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(1,4),(2,3)\), \((3,2),(4,1),(1,6),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(4,3)\), \((6,1),(5,6),(6,5)\) \(P(\) total score is a prime number…
