Solution
The correct option is A91216 Four fair dices rolled simultaneously.
Total number of outcomes=6×6×6×6
Suppose, the out come of the last one does not appear in the first three.
The number of such outcomes possible=6×53
(∵D1 can show any of 6 numbers and first three can show any of the remaining 5 numbers)
Hence, probability that D4 does not show a number shown by any of D1,D2 or D3
