∴ Total number of possible outcomes = 36
We know
Probability of an event= `"Favourable number of outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`
The outcomes favourable to the event 'even numbers on both dice' denoted by F are (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (4, 2), (4, 4), (4, 6), (6, 2), (6, 4) and (6, 6).
Total number of favourable outcomes = 9
`:.P(F)=9/36=1/4`
