  3. 16\dfrac{1}{6}

  4. 56\dfrac{5}{6}

Answer

Total number of possible outcomes = 6 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Number of favourable outcomes (Getting a number not more than 5) = 4 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

P(Getting a number not more than 5) = Number of favourable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes\dfrac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}

= 56\dfrac{5}{6}

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
