If the lengths of the sides of a triangle are decided by the three throws of a single fair die, then the probability that the triangle is of maximum area given that it is an isosceles triangle, is:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

In aΔsum of two sides should be greater then the third side

It is given thatΔis isosceles

Total cases in which isoscelesΔwill come is

1,1,1,2,2,3,2,2,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,3,3,1,3,3,2,3,3,3,3,3,5,4,4,1,4,4,2,4,4,3,4,4,4,4,4,5,4,4,6,5,5,1,5,5,2,5,5,3,5,5,4,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,1,6,6,2,6,6,3,6,6,4,6,6,5,6,6,6

Total cases =27×312=69

Favorable cases=1

Probability =169.
