Two dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the probability of getting the sum of numbers on the on the two faces divisible by 3 or 4?

Correct Answer: 5/9

Explanation:

Here n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36


E={(1,2),(1,5),(2,1),(2,4),(3,3),(3,6),(4,2),(4,5),(5,1),(5,4),(6,3) ,(6,6),(1,3),(2,2),(2,6),(3,1),(3,5), (4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}


=> n(E)=20


Required Probability n(P) = n(E)/n(S) = 20/36 = 5/9.
