Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of these

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(A=\) getting even no on 1st dice \[ \mathrm{B}=\text { getting sum } 8 \] So \(|\mathrm{A}|=18 \quad|\mathrm{~B}|=5 \quad|\mathrm{~A} \cap \mathrm{B}|=3\) \[ \text { So } P(A \cup B)=\frac{18+5-3}{36}=\frac{20}{36} \text {} \]
