The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The total number of possible outcomes is $6^{4}$. The number of possible outcomes in which $2$ does not appear on any dice is $5^{4}$. $\therefore$ the no. of possible outcomes in which at least one dice shows a $2$ is $6^{4}-5^{4}=1296-625$ $=671$

Permutations and Combinations

Permutation:

Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence. 

  • In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point. 
  • A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.

Combination:

Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.

  • Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
