उत्तर

When a die is thrown once, the sample space is given by, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6}

Then, the event, E of getting an even number is given by, E = {2, 4, and 6}

∴ Probability of getting an even number = P (E)`thereforeP(E)\text{Number of favourable outcomes}/\text{Number of all possible outcomes}=3/6=1/2`

The correct answer is `1/2` which is given by option A.
