Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Total number of outcomes possible when a die is rolled, n(S) = 6 (∵ 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6)
E = Event that the number shown in the dice is divisible by 3 = {3, 6}
Hence, n(E) = 2
$MF#%\text{P(E) = }\dfrac{\text{n(E)}}{\text{n(S)}} = \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3}$MF#%
