    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    In a simultaneous throw of two dice, we have n(s) = 6x6 = 36
    Let E = event of getting two numbers are same.
    Then E = { (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
    therefore, n(E) = 6
    And P(E) = p( getting two numbers are same)
    P(E) = n(E)/n(s) = 6/36 = 1/6
    Hence the answer is 1/6
