Detailed Solution

Given that 2 dices are thrown. And one die has 6 faces.
We know, if pair of dice is thrown that sample space that one dice shows a four is,
= {(1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (4,4), (5,4), (6,4), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,5), (4,6)}
Possible outcomes that other dice shows 5 when first dice shows 4 = (4,5), (5,4).
Hence, number of favorable outcomes is 2.
The probability that the other die shows 5 is 2 11 .
Therefore, option 4 is correct.
