1/18 ans. total ways of getting 5 is 12 and total number of outcomes is 216(6*6*6) hence 1/18

ans is 1/54 i.e probability of getting 5 to total probability

ans is 6/11

p(5)=1+1+3 =3!/2!=3 ways
p(5)=1+2+2 =3!/2!= 3 ways , total p(5)=3+3=6 ways
p(7)= (1+1+5)=3!/2!=3 ways
p(7)= (1+2+4)=3!=6 ways
p(7)= (1+3+3)=3!/2!=3 ways
p(7)= (2+2+3)=3!/2!=3 ways
total p(7)=3+6+3+3 =15
probability(5 before 7)= p(5)/{p(5)+p(7)} = 6/(6+15) = 6/21 = 2/7 ans
