Question

If two dice are thrown simultaneously, then what are total number of possible outcomes?

A.

12

B.

18

C.

36

D.

6

Correct option is C

Total outcomes for each die:

The first die can show any of 6 outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).

The second die can also show any of 6 outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).

Total number of possible outcomes:
Since the two dice are independent, the total number of possible outcomes is the product of the individual outcomes:

Total number of outcomes=6×6=36\text{Total number of outcomes} = 6 \times 6 = 36
Total number of outcomes = 6×6 = 36
