Correct answer is (a) 1/3
On a through of a dice 6 possible outcomes are possible.
There are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Among which only 4 and 6 are composite numbers i.e. two numbers are composite.
Now from the definition of probability, the probability of getting a composite number on the throw of dice is 2/6 = 1/3.
