Given that:

Two dice are rolled.

We have to find:

The probability that both the dice show the same number.

Answer:

It is given that two dice are rolled and we know that one die will have 6 outcomes. So total no. of outcomes would be:

Now, the probability of getting a number on die no. 1 is:

The probability of getting the same number on die no. 2 is:

So, when these dice are rolled together, the probability of getting the same number is the product of the probability of getting the number on each of the die.

Therefore the required correct option is:

Option B: 1/36 ✔
