The correct answer is: 29

Total number of elementary events =6×6×6=216

Clearly ,ωβ1+ωβ2+ωβ3=0

If one of r1,r2,r3 takes value from the set 3,6 ,  other take the value from 1,4 and the third one takes the value from 2,5.

The total number of these ways =C1 ×2C12 ×C12×3!

So favourable number of elementary events =C1 ×2C12 ×C12×3!=48

Required probability=48216=29
