Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{27}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Favourable case \(= (6,6,6)\) Total case \(= \{ (1,1,1)(2,2,1),(2,2,2),(2,2,3),(3,3,1)\) \( \ldots (3,3,5)(4,4,1) \ldots ..\) \((4,4,6)(5,5,1)....\) \((5,5,6)(6,6,1) \ldots (6,6,6)\} \) which satisfies condition \(a + b > c\) Number of total case \(= 27\) Probability…
