    \(\frac{2}{3}\)
    খ)
    \(\frac{1}{4}\)
    গ)
    \(\frac{1}{6}\)
    ঘ)
    \(\frac{4}{5}\)
    ঙ)
    None of these

    Explanation

    We know that in a simultaneous throw of two dice - Number of sample space n(s) = 6×6=36 Let E = event of getting a total of 7 = {(1,6) (2,5) (3,4) (4,3) (5,2) (6,1)} Therefore numbers of event n(E) = 6 ∴probability of getting a total of 7 P(E)=n(E)n(S)=636=16P\left( E \right) = \frac{{n\left( E \right)}}{{n\left( S \right)}} = \frac{6}{{36}} = \frac{1}{6}
