Solution

The correct option is A 91216
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

=6×5364

So, the required probability

=16×5364=91216
