  2. B \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Two dice are rolled.
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})=36\)
A : Event that the sum of the numbers on upper most face is prime.
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad & A=\{(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,3),(2,5),(2,11), \\ & (3,2),(5,2),(11,2)\}\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}\)
