A

`(13)/(18)`

B

`(5)/(6)`

C

`(1)/(12)`

D

`(35)/(36)`

Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
C

Since two dice are thrown so number of outcomes are 36.
No. of ways when sum on two faces less than4 = 3.
[(1,1).(1.2),(2,1)]
Hence prob of getting sum of the faces less than 4 `= (3)/(36) = (1)/(12)`
