Question

Two dice are rolled one after the other. The probability that the number on the first is smaller than the number on the second is:

Solution

Correct option is

5/12

Two throws independent

So P(no. on D1 < no. on D2) = P(no. on D2 < no. on D1)

⇒    Let E1 = Number on D1 < D2     

              E2 = Number on D2 < D1

                F = Number on D2 < D1       

⇒    Let (E1) + P(E2) + P(F) = 1

⇒    2P(E1) + P(F) = 1…….(i)

P(F) = P(1) P(1) + P(2) P(2) +….+ P(6) P(6)
