Given:

Two dice are thrown.

We need to calculate the probability of getting the sum more than 10.

Formula used:

Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes

Total outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36

Calculation:

Favorable outcomes for sum > 10:

(5,6), (6,5), (6,6)

⇒ Total favorable outcomes = 3

Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes

⇒ Probability = 3 / 36

⇒ Probability = 1 / 12

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
