Question

Two dices are rolled simultaneously. What is the probability of getting an odd number on the first dice and an even number on the second one?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{8}$
• D. $\frac{1}{36}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{4}$

If two dice are rolled simultaneously, the number of outcomes is given below:

Total number of possible outcomes is 36

Now, the condition given in the question can be highlighted as:


So, number of favorable outcomes = 6

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

$=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}$
