A six-faced unbiased die is thrown twice and the sum of the numbers appearing on the upper face is observed to be 7 . The probability that the number 3 has appeared atleast once, is
Options
- A1 5
- B2 5
- C3 5
- D4 5
Correct answer
C. 3 5
Step-by-step solution
Sum of the dice is 7 . aligned & S=- (1,6),(6,1),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(4,3) & n(S)=6 aligned Let, E= Event of getting atleast three 3 or a die n(E)=2 Required probability = n(E) n(S) = 2 6 = 1 3
