Answer: 736


SOLUTION 1 :

When two dice are thrown, the sample space is 

S = { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6),

        (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6),

        (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6),

        (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6),

        (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6),

        (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6) }

n (S) = 6 x 6 = 36.

Let A be the event of getting two digit number formed with the two numbers turning up is divisible by 5

A =  { (1,4) ,(2,3), (3,2), (4,1), (4,6), (5,5), (6,4) }

         n(A) = 7.

Hence P(A) = n(A)n(S)

                 = 736

        (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6) }

n (S) = 6 x 6 = 36.

Let A be the event of getting two digit number formed with the two numbers turning up is divisible by 10

A =  { (4,6), (5,5), (6,4) }

         n(A) = 3.

Hence P(A) = n(A)n(S)

                 = 336  = 112
