Detailed Solution

Given that 2 dices are thrown. And one die has 6 faces.
Total numbers of outcomes when throwing n no. of dice together = 6 n .
The total number of possible outcomes when throwing two dice together is n S = 6 2 =36 .
The possible outcomes when two dice are thrown simultaneously is,Question ImageThe Probability of occurrence of an event E is P(E)= n(E) n(S) .
Let E be the event of getting 5 on both the dice.
Favorable outcome = 5,5
Number of favorable outcomes =n E =1 Substitute the values in the formula of probability.
  P(E)= n(E) n(S) = 1 36
Hence, option 4 is correct.
