Here, S = {(l, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), ... , (6, 6)} 

Let A be the event, where the sum of the numbers of two faces is divisible by 4

= {(l, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 6), (6, 2) 

(3, 5), (5, 3), (4, 4), (6, 6)} 

Let B be the event, where the sum of the numbers of two faces is divisible by 5. 

= {(1, 4), (4, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5)} 

Clearly A and B are mutually exclusive events. Thus, the required probability 

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)=936+736=1636=49
