1) The first die can give any of the 6 numbers.

2) The Second die can give any of the remaining 5 numbers.

3) The third die can give any of the remaining 4 numbers.

4) The fourth die can give any of the remaining 3 numbers.

So, the total possible outcomes will be = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3.

Probability of all getting different numbers = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3/6^4

= 5/18.

Probability of 2 people get the same number = 1 - 5/18

= 13/18.

waiting time of both katrina and runbir is 15 min. Means they can meet

only meet each other in 15 Min. , if they 1 more min. than they can\\\'t meet each

other .. so chances of meeting in only(Favourable event )=15 min

Total no. of min.(Sample space)= 60 min

Grid has to be rotated at 180 degrees.

hence,
11=33

12=32
13=31

21=23
22=22

31=13
32=12

33=11
cell 11-33 can be altered in 2 ways (as there are 2 colours)
cell 12-32 can be altered in 2 ways

cell 13-31 can be altered in 2 ways

cell 21-23 can be altered in 2 ways

and , cell 22 can be altered in 2 ways so, 2*2*X*2*2*2 = 32.
