Solution

The correct option is D {1, 2, 3,4}
When we throw a dice what can happen?? One of the following numbers will appear.
{1, 2,3,4,5 or 6}
So sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Event A is described as throwing a 5 or 6
So
A = {5,6}
Now complement of A = S – A
{1,2,3,4,5,6} - {5, 6}
{1,2,3,4}
Basically complement of A means not A. So everything in sample space except A is complement of A.
