Correct Answer – Option 3 : 5/108
Given:
Jayant throws 3 dices at same time
Formula used:-
P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Total outcomes
Calculation:
Here, total number of possible outcomes = 6 × 6 × 6
⇒ No. of event of getting sum of 6 is (1, 1, 4), (1, 4, 1), (4, 1, 1), (1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 2), (2, 1, 3), (2, 3, 1), (3, 1, 2), (3, 2, 1) and (2, 2, 2).
⇒ Probability of getting a total of 6 = 10/216
⇒ P(E) = 5/108
∴ probability of getting a total of 6 is 5/108
