Answer 2

Answer: First option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of spinners = 2

Number written on section of spinners = 1 to 5

So, possible outcomes will be

`1+1=2\\\\1+2=3\\\\1+3=4\\\\1+4=5\\\\1+5=6\\\\2+2=4\\\\2+3=5\\\\2+4=6\\\\2+5=7\\\\3+3=6\\\\3+4=7\\\\3+5=8\\\\4+4=8\\\\4+5=9\\\\5+5=10`

So, the total number of possible sums = 9

(as the sums which can come out of this is - 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.)

Hence, First option is correct.
