  1. A single die is thrown twice. What is the probability that the sum is neither 8 nor 9?
    1. 1
      9
    2. 5
      36
    3. 1
      4
    4. 3
      4

Correct Option: D

The number of ways of coming 8 and 9 are (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2), (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3) Total ways = 9
So probability of coming 8 and 9 are

=
9
=
9
6 × 636

So probability of not coming these
= 1 -
9
=
3
364
