Question

A die is thrown once, the probability of getting a composite number on the die is

• A. $\frac{1}{6}$
• B. $\frac{2}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\frac{1}{3}$

The composite numbers among the numbers on a die are 4 and 6. Thus, we have 2 favourable outcomes out of a total of 6 outcomes. Hence, the required probability is $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$.
