Given that the two numbers appearing on throwing 2 dice are different, the probability of the event " sum of number on the dice is 4 " is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Given the numbers are different, the reduced sample space has 36−6=3036-6 = 30 outcomes.

Outcomes with sum 44 and distinct numbers are (1,3)(1,3) and (3,1)(3,1); the pair (2,2)(2,2) is excluded.

Required probability =230=115= \dfrac{2}{30} = \dfrac{1}{15}.
