In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, the probability of getting a total more than \( 7 \) is

  1. A \( \frac{7}{12} \)
  2. B \( \frac{5}{36} \)
  3. C \( \frac{5}{12} \)
  4. D \( \frac{7}{36} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of outcomes of getting sum more than \( 7 \), that is, \( \{8,9,10,11,12\} \) is \( 15 \)
Total number of outcomes is \( 36 \).
So, required probability is given by \( \frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12} \)
