Ans. 25/216 Probability of getting sum of two throws as 3,4,5,6,7,8 is easily calculated. for 3 its 1+2 or 2+1 (2 combinations out of 36 for roll of two dice) for 4 its 1+3 or 2+2 or 3+1(3 combinations out of 36 for roll of two dice) adding for 3,4,5,6,7,8 we get 25/36 For each of these cases there is one matching value of the third dice, So multiply by 1/6 to get 25/216
