Answer:

Let,O and P be the events of getting odd number and any other number except 4 respectively.

n(S)=6

O=(1,3,5) so, n(O)=3

P=(1,2,3,5,6) so, n(P)=5

So,probability of getting an odd number and any other number except 4 will be

n(O)/n(S) × n(P)/n(S)

=3/6 × 5/6

=5/12

May be it's the answer I guess. Hope you're clear with it:-)
