Question

What is the probability of getting a sum 10, when two dice are thrown simultaneously?

• A. $\frac{1}{12}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{1}{9}$
• D. $\frac{1}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{12}$

Two dices are drawn.

Total outcomes $=36$

Outcomes with sum as $10$ are: $E=\left\{\right(4,6\left)\right(5,5\left)\right(6,4\left)\right\}$

Probability: $P\left(E\right)=\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}$
