Solution

Total number of times a die is rolled = 25Total number of possible outcomes = 251.Number of times '2' appears = 4number of times '4' appears = 6number of times '6' appears = 0Number of times an even number appears = 4+6+0 = 10number of favourable outcomes = 10Pan even number = number of favourable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes = 1025=252.Number of times '3' appears = 5Number of times '6' appears = 0Number of times a multiple of 3 appears = 5 + 0 = 5Number of favourable outcomes = 5Pa multiple of 3 = number of favourable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes = 525=153.Number of times '2' appears = 4number of times '3' appears = 5number of times '5' appears = 1Number of times a prime number appears = 4 + 5 + 1 = 10number of favourable outcomes = 10Pa prime number = number of favourable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes = 1025=25
