A and B are two players throwing 2 dices in a turn with A starting first and taking turns alternatively. A wins if he gets 8 as sum and B wins on getting sum as 7 .What is the probability that A wins in first draw?

My Answer:6/36((3,5),(5,3),(4,4),(4,4),(2,6),(2,6)) As per my understanding if dice are different suppose of red and blue colour then 4,4 should be counted twice and if both dices are identical then 2,6 and 6,2 will also look same

Book Answer: 5/36
