In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, the probability of getting a total more than ( 7 ) is

Options

  1. A( 7 12 )
  2. B( 5 36 )
  3. C( 5 12 )
  4. D( 7 36 )

Correct answer

C. ( 5 12 )

Step-by-step solution

Total number of outcomes of getting sum more than ( 7 ), that is, ( 8,9,10,11,12 ) is ( 15 ) Total number of outcomes is ( 36 ). So, required probability is given by ( 15 36 = 5 12 )
