Question

Find the probability of getting a multiple of 3 on one die and multiple of 2 on the other die when two dice are thrown simultaneously?

• A. 13/36
• B. 11/36
• C. 7/36
• D. 5/9
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

11/36

Let X be required events and S be the sample space.

then X = {(2,3),(2,6),(4,3),(4,6),(6,3),(6,6),(3,2),(6,2),(3,4),(6,4),(3,6)}

n(X) = 11, n(S) =36

Hence, required probability =$\frac{n\left(X\right)}{n\left(S\right)}$ = $\frac{11}{36}$
