    Two dice are rolled simultaneously. The probability that they show different faces is:

    A) \[\frac{2}{3}\]

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

    C) \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    D) \[\frac{5}{6}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Total number of possible outcomes = 36 
    Let E be the event getting same faces.
    Favourable outcomes to event E are
    \[\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)\}\]i.e., 6 in number, 
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,p(E)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,p(E)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\]
    \[\therefore \] P(getting different faces)  
    \[=P(\bar{E})=1-P(E)=1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}\]
