Detailed Solution:Sum obtained is a multiple of 4.
A = { (1,3), (2,2), (3,1), (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3) (6,2), (6,6)}
B: Score of 4 has appeared at least once.
B = { (1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (4,4), (5,4), (6,4), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,5), (4,6)}
Required probability = P (B/A) = P (B? A)/P (A)
= (1/36) / (9/36) = 1/9

D = b2 – 4ac
D = 0
b2 – 4ac = 0
b2 = 4ac
(i) AC = 1, b = 2 (1, 2, 1) is one way
(ii) AC = 4, b = 4
(iii) AC = 9, b = 6, a = 3, c = 3 is one way
