Three dice (each having six faces with each face having one number from 1 or 6) are ralled. What is the number of possible outcomes such that atleast one dice shows the number 2?
Correct answer: C. 91
- A. 36
- B. 81
- C. 91
- D. 116
Explanation
There are 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 outcomes for three dice. Outcomes with no 2 have 5 choices for each die, giving 5 x 5 x 5 = 125, so outcomes with at least one 2 are 216 - 125 = 91; 116 does not follow from the complement calculation.

Sequences describe ordered terms formed by a pattern, while series represent the sum of those terms. Questions cover arithmetic and geometric sequences, their nth terms, common difference or ratio, finite sums, and applications, with the sequence itself kept distinct from the corresponding series.
