Solution

The correct option is B 11

Look at the table showing the different values of the dice in the two throws. Any cell in the table is the sum of the values of the dice in the two throws. There exists a diagonal relationship in the table. Only 11 distinct outcomes are possible, viz. 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
