Q88 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Mathematics

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. The probability of obtaining a total score of \( 5 \) is

A
\( \frac{1}{18} \)
B
\( \frac{1}{12} \)
Correct answer
C
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
D
\( \frac{1}{36} \)

Solution

Given that, total outcomes is 36 Favorable outcomes are $\{(1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2)\}$ So, required probability is $P(E)=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
