Question

If four dice are thrown together, then what is the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on them is $25?$

• A. $0$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $1$
• D. $\frac{1}{1296}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$0$

Explanation for the correct answer:

The maximum value on one dice is $6.$

When $4$ dice are thrown together, the sum of the maximum number on $4$ dice together,

$$\begin{gathered} =6+6+6+6 \\ =24 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, getting a total of $25$ is not possible when $4$ dice are thrown together.

Thus, the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on them is $25\mathrm{is}0.$

Hence, the correct answer is an option (A).
