Total number of outcomes when two dice are thrown = 36
Outcomes on a die which are multiple of 3 : 3, 6
Outcomes on a die which are prime number: 2, 3, 5
Outcomes having a multiple of 3 on one die and a prime
number on the other die:
(2, 3), (2, 6), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 5), (3, 6), (5, 3), (5, 6), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 5)
Total number of favourable outcomes=11
Required Probability=Number of favourable outcomesTotal number of outcomes
=1136
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
