Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice is $15$

• A. $7$
• B. $\frac{1}{24}$
• C. 0
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0

When $2$ dice are rolled simultaneously,the maximum sum of numbers appearing on the 2 dice will be $(6+6)=12$

$\because$ 12 is the max. sum that can be obtained

$\therefore$ 15 can't be obtained as sum by rolling only 2 dice

$\Rightarrow$ P (getting 15 as sum) = 0

$\therefore P=0$
