Question

In the game of ludo, you start your move if you get 6 after throwing the dice for the first time. What is the probability that you will start your move after the first throw?

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{5}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\frac{1}{6}$

The probability of getting digit '6' (from the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6) after throwing the dice for the first time
$=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{1}{6}$

Here the total number of outcomes is 6 and the number of favourable outcomes is 1 as the value of '6' is there for one time.
