पर्याय
`1/2`
`1/3`
`1/6`
`5/6`
उत्तर
Total number of outcomes = 6.
Out of the given numbers, even numbers are 2, 4 and 6.
Numbers of favourable outcomes = 3.
∴ P(getting an even number) = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`
`= 3/6 = 1/2`
Thus, the probability of getting an even number is `1/2`.
Hence, the correct answer is option `1/2`.
