Options
- A5 216
- B4 27
- C35 216
- D20 216
Correct answer
C. 35 216
Step-by-step solution
Total possible outcomes when 3 dice are thrown are 6^3=216 Outcomes of type (6,6, )=3 4=12 Outcomes of type (6,5, )=3+2 3!=15 Outcomes of type (6,4, )=3 Outcomes of type (5,5, )=3+1=4 and (6,6,6) Probability = 12+15+4+3+1 216 = 35 216 .
