Question

In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, find the probability of getting same value on both.

• A. 1/36
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 5/6

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1/6

There are 36 outcomes for rolling a pair of dice, of which six are favourable: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5) and (6,6). Hence, the required probability is =$\frac{6}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
