Solution

The correct option is C

1/3


The composite numbers among 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are 4 and 6. Hence, the number of favourable outcomes is 2 and the total number of outcomes is 6.

Thus, the probability of getting a composite number in a throw of dice = number of favourable outcomestotal number of outcomes = 26 = 13
