Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key idea: There are 36 equally likely outcomes when two fair six-sided dice are rolled.
Rahul chose 7 — favorable rolls: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) → 6 outcomes → probability 6/36 = 1/6 ≈ 16.67%.
Ravi chose 9 — favorable rolls: (3,6), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3) → 4 outcomes → probability 4/36 ≈ 11.11%.
Rajesh chose 10 — favorable rolls: (4,6), (5,5), (6,4) → 3 outcomes → probability 3/36 = 1/12 ≈ 8.33%.
Rohan chose 11 — favorable rolls: (5,6), (6,5) → 2 outcomes → probability 2/36 = 1/18 ≈ 5.56%.
Conclusion: Rahul, who chose 7, has the maximum probability of winning because 7 has the most favorable outcomes (6 out of 36).
