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