What is the probability that the sum of two dice will yield a 6, and then when both are thrown again, their sum will again yield a 6? assume that each die has 5 sides with faces numbered 1 to 5.  Options:  A) 1 / 144  B) 1 / 25  C) 1 / 12  D) 1 / 6  E) 1 / 3

Rationale: solution - rolling dices is an independent event . the combinations to get 6 are ( 1,5 ) , ( 5,1 ) , ( 2,4 ) , ( 4,2 ) , ( 3,3 ) and total combinations of both dices is 25 . the probability of getting 6 in first attempt is 5 / 25 = 1 / 5 . probability of getting 6 again in second attempt = ( 1 / 5 ) * ( 1 / 5 ) = 1 / 25 . ans b
Answer: B
