C.1/12
D.1/3

Answer 1

The correct answer is C 1/12 :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C. 1/12

Explanation:

It is given that, two dies are rolled.

The outcomes of tossing two dies are,

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (15), (1,6)

----- -------- ------ ------ ----- ----

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

Number of possible outcomes = 36

To find the probability

The possible outcomes are getting sum 10 which are,

(4,6), (5, 5) and (6,4)

Number of possible outcomes = 3

Therefore probability of getting sum 10 = 3/36 = 1/12

The correct answer is option C. 1/12
