Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the events \(A=\) Sum of the number appearing on them is 6 . \(B=\) Number 1 appears atleast once \[ \begin{aligned} & P(A)=\frac{5}{36} P(B)=\frac{11}{36} \\ & P(A \cap B)=\frac{2}{36} \\ & \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) Required probability…
