Solution

When two dice are thrown, the possible 36 outcomes are
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)
(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)
(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)
(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

We get the sum 9 when pair of outcomes are (3,6),(6,3)(4,5),(5,4).
So, the probability of getting a total of 9=436=19
We get the sum 10 when pair of outcomes are (5,5),(6,4)(4,6).
So, the probability of getting a total of 10=336=112
Sum greater than 9, means sum of 10,11,12
We get it when the pair of outcomes are (5,5),(6,4)(4,6);(5,6),(6,5);(6,6).
So, the probability of getting a total more than 9=636=16
We get the sum 8 when pair of outcomes are (4,4),(5,3),(3,5),(6,2)(2,6).
So, the probability of getting a total of 8=536
Hence, A4,B3,C1,D2
