Re: Fifteen candies are to be divided up among six children so [#permalink]
"each child receives at least two candies." So this means that at least 10 candies should be distributed amongst five children. This leaves five candies at best, and hence we get a perfect 0 as probability since the case of someone getting six candies is impossible.

Re: Fifteen candies are to be divided up among six children so [#permalink]
No child can receive 6 candies. Because each one has to get 2 candies minimum. There are 6 children and 15 candies. 6*2 = 12. 15-12=3. The maximum any child could get is 2+3=5 and not 6. So Probability (quantity A) is 0 and option C is the answer.
