10th Class Mathematics Probability Question Bank MCQs - Probability

In a single throw of a die, the probability of getting a multiple of 2 is:

A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

B) \[\frac{1}{3}\]

C) \[\frac{1}{6}\]

D) \[\frac{2}{3}\]

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

[a] Total number of possible outcomes= 6

Favourable outcomes of getting multiple of 2 are \[\{2,4,6\}\] i.e., 3 in number.

\[\therefore \]Required probability \[=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\]
