EXPERT ANSWER

ANSWER IS 1/6

Note :

We know that whatever be the first four numbers , the fifth number will decide whether the sum is divisible by 6 or not

That is let , S= N+N5

Before adding N5 , we cannot say whether S is divisible by 6

N5 is chosen from 6 equally likely numbers ,1,2,3,4,5,6

P(N5) =1/6

Therefore probability that sum is divisible by 6 is 1/6
