Answer

Let the required number be 'X'


Condition 1 :  


XX = 2X  => 2X2 = X => X = 12


 


Condition 2 :


X × X = X2=> X = 12


 


Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.

Required, the sum of the two numbers that turn up is less than 12

That can be done as n(E)

= { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)
(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)
(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)
(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)
(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)
(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5) }

= 35

Hence, required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 35/36.
