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 = 62 = 36

.
The possible outcomes when two dice are thrown simultaneously is Question Image

The Probability of occurrence of an event E is

P (E) = n (E) n (S)

.
Favorable outcomes are,

1, 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 2, 4, 3, 5, 1, 5, 2, 6, 1

Now, the number of outcomes of getting a total of 6 or 7 of the numbers on two dice

= 11

P (Getting a total of 6 or 7 of the numbers on two dice)

= 1136

Hence, the probability of getting a total of 6 or 7 of the numbers on two dice is

1136

.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
