A pair of dice is rolled. If the two numbers appearing on them are different, the probability that Match List-I with List-II.
|
List-I (Event) |
List-II (Probability) |
|
(A) The sum of the numbers is greater than 11 |
(I) 0 |
|
(B) The sum of the numbers is 4 or less |
(II) 1/15 |
|
(C) The sum of the numbers is 4 |
(III) 2/15 |
|
(D) The sum of the numbers is 7 |
(IV) 3/15 |

When two dice are rolled:
Total possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36
But pairs like (1,1), (2,2), ..., (6,6) (i.e., 6 repeated pairs) are not allowed.
So, valid outcomes = 36 - 6 = 30
(A) The sum of the numbers is greater than 11: The only possible pair for a sum greater than 11 is (6,6), which is excluded as the numbers must be different. Thus, the probability is 0.
$P(A)=0$,
(B) Sum of numbers 4 or less are,
$1+2=3$
$2+1=3$
$1+3=4$
$3+1=4$
Probability = $\frac{4}{30}=\frac{2}{15}$
(C) Sum of number in 4 : The sum of the numbers is 4: The possible pairs are (1,3),(3,1),(2,2), but (2,2) is excluded, leaving 2 favorable outcomes. Thus, the probability is:
Probability = $\frac{2}{30}=\frac{1}{15}$
(D) Sum of the number is 7
$1+6,6+1$
$2+5,5+2$
$3+4,4+3$
Probability = $\frac{6}{30}=\frac{3}{15}$
