Question:

Two dice are tossed together. The odds in favour of the sum of the numbers on them as 2 are

Options:

1 : 36

1 : 35

35 : 1

None of these

1 : 35

Explanation:

If two dice are tossed, total number of events = 6 × 6 = 36.

Favourable event is (1, 1). Number of favourable events = 1

∴ odds in favour $=\frac{1}{36-1}=\frac{1}{35}.$
