Q14 of 47 Page 1

Two difference dice are rolled together. Find the probability of getting:

(i) the sum of numbers on two dice to be 5.


(ii) even numbers on both dice.

Total possible outcomes = 6n = 62 = 36

Possible outcomes are:



(i) The possible outcomes are (4,1), (3,2), (2,3), (1,4) when the sum of numbers on two dice is 5.
So, No. of possible outcomes = 4


∴ Required Probability,


(ii) The possible outcomes are (2,2), (2,4), (2,6), (4,2), (4,4), (4,6), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6) for even numbers on both dice.


So, No. of possible outcomes = 9


∴ Required Probability,
