What is the probability that the sum of two dice will yield a 5, and then when both are thrown again, their sum will again yield a 5? assume that each die has 4 sides with faces numbered 1 to 4.  Choose the most appropriate option
A) 1 / 144 B) 1 / 36 C) 1 / 12 D) 1 / 16 E) 1 / 3

Rationale: "solution - rolling dices is an independent event . the combinations to get 5 are ( 1,4 ) , ( 4,1 ) , ( 2,3 ) , ( 3,2 ) , and total combinations of both dices is 16 . the probability of getting 5 in first attempt is 4 / 16 = 1 / 4 . probability of getting 5 again in second attempt = ( 1 / 4 ) * ( 1 / 4 ) = 1 / 16 . ans d"
Answer: D
