    The chance of throwing at least 9 in a single throw with two dice, is                                              [SCRA 1980]

    A)                 \[\frac{1}{18}\]    

    B)                 \[\frac{5}{18}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{7}{18}\]    

    D)                 \[\frac{11}{18}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Ways  \[\begin{matrix}    9 & 10 & 11 & 12  \\    \downarrow  & \downarrow  & \downarrow  & \downarrow   \\    4 & 3 & 2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\]                 Hence the required probability \[=\frac{10}{36}=\frac{5}{18}.\]
