Solution

The correct option is B

38


Probability of an event

= Number of desired outcomesTotal number of outcomes of the experiment

Total number of outcomes = 8

Number of desired outcomes i.e. getting a 3 = 3(3 faces contain the number 3)

Therefore, Probability of getting a three when the die is rolled is 38.
