Solution

The correct option is D 5

Let us make a table to show all the possible outcomes.

1 2 3 4 5 6 11,11,21,31,41,51,622,12,22,32,42,52,633,13,23,33,43,53,644,14,24,34,44,54,655,15,25,35,45,55,666,16,26,36,46,56,6

A sum of 6 is obtained when 1 & 5 are obtained, 2 & 4 and 3 & 3 obtained. So 6 is obtained in 5 possible ways.
