: getting the same number on each dice
: getting the sum of 4 on two dice
Which of the following is not true?

), P ( 
), P ( 
) are in arithmetic progression.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
= {(2,2) (2,3) (2,5), (3,2), (3,3), (3,5), (5,2), (5,3), (5,5)}
= {(1,1) (2,2) (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
= {(1,3), (3,1), (2,2)}
are in A.P.
(Dependent)
