  • question_answer
    Two dice are thrown together. The probability that at least one will show its digit 6 is                                [RPET 1996]

    A)                 \[\frac{11}{36}\]  

    B)                 \[\frac{36}{11}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{5}{11}\]    

    D)                 \[\frac{1}{6}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Number of ways \[=6\times 6=36\]            Sample space = \[\left\{ \begin{align}   & (6,\,\,1)\,\,(6,\,\,2)\,\,(6,\,\,3)\,\,(6,\,\,4) \\  & (6,\,\,5)\,\,(1,\,\,6)\,\,(2,\,\,6)\,\,(3,\,\,6) \\  & (4,\,\,6)\,\,(5,\,\,6)\,\,(6,\,\,6) \\ \end{align} \right\}\]            \ Probability of at least one 6                 \[=P\](one 6) \[+P\]\[=\frac{10}{36}+\frac{1}{36}=\frac{11}{36}.\] (Both 6)
