Two dice are thrown together. What is the probability that the number obtained on one of the dice is multiple of number obtained on the other dice?
Total number of cases = 62 = 36Since the number on a die should be multiple of the other, the possibilities are(1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 3) ------ (6, 6) --- 6 ways(2, 1) (1, 2) (1, 4) (4, 1) (1, 3) (3, 1) (1, 5) (5, 1) (6, 1) (1, 6) --- 10 ways(2, 4) (4, 2) (2, 6) (6, 2) (3, 6) (6, 3) -- 6 waysFavorable cases are = 6 + 10 + 6 = 22. So, P (A) = 22/36 = 11/18

(1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 3) ------ (6, 6) --- 6 ways
(2, 1) (1, 2) (1, 4) (4, 1) (1, 3) (3, 1) (1, 5) (5, 1) (6, 1) (1, 6) --- 10 ways
(2, 4) (4, 2) (2, 6) (6, 2) (3, 6) (6, 3) -- 6 ways
Favorable cases are = 6 + 10 + 6 = 22. So, P (A) = 22/36 = 11/18
