Two different dice are rolled together. The probability that both the obtained numbers are less than 4, is
A. $\dfrac{2}{9}$
B. $\dfrac{7}{36}$
C. $\dfrac{1}{4}$
D. $\dfrac{2}{3}$
✅ Answer & Solution
✅ Correct Answer: C
Step 1: Total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled $=6\times 6=36$.
Step 2: Numbers less than 4 on a die are $1, 2, 3$ (3 choices).
Step 3: Favourable outcomes (both numbers less than 4) $=3\times 3=9$.
Step 4: $$P=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}$$
Answer: (C) $\dfrac{1}{4}$
