B.$\frac{47}{648}$
C.$\frac{35}{648}$
D.$\frac{16}{81}$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Die rolled 4 times: probability of the stated min/max event.]
$$P = \frac{4^{4} - \left( \ ^{2}C_{1}3^{4} - 2^{4} \right)}{6^{4}} = \frac{55}{648}$$
Favorable number of ways
$=$ Number appearing can be 2,3,4,5 only - at
