Detailed Solution

n= Total number of ways =65

To find the favourable no. of ways. a total of 2 in ‘5’ throws can be obtained in the following two ways only

i) one blank and four 3’s

ii) three 2’s and two 3’ s

The no. of ways in case (i) =5C1=5

And the no. of ways  in case (ii) =5C2=10

 m=5+10=15 (favourable)

P(A)=n(A)n(S)=1565=52592
