Below are the cases, when sum of numbers of all dice can be `0`.
`(i) (0,0,0) - 1` possibility
`(ii)(1,0,-1) - 3! = 6` posiibilities
`(iii)(2,0,-2) - 3! = 6` posiibilities
`(iv)(1,1,-2) - (3!)/2= 3` possibilities
`(v)(-1,-2,3) - 3! = 6` posiibilities
`(vi)(2, -1,-1) -(3!)/2= 3` possibilities
So, total number of favourable outcomes, `n(E) = 1+6+6+3+6+3 = 25`
