Correct option is (D) impossible

Possible outcome when a die is thrown are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Hence, favourable outcome of event of getting a number more than 6 is n(E) = 0.

\(\therefore\) Probability of getting a number more than 6 is

\(P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)

\(=\frac06=0\)

An event whose probability is 0 is known as an impossible event.

Hence, when a die is thrown, getting a number more than 6 is an impossible event.
