Detailed Solution

It is given that, Apoorv throws 2 dice once and computes the product of the numbers appearing on the dice.
The number of possible for the product to be 36 is 1 and the number of total outcomes for 2 dice is 36 .
Let A be the event of the product to be 36 , then the probability of the event can be calculated by,
P(A)= Number of favourable outcomes Total number of outcomes
= 1 36
So probability for the dice thrown by Apoorv is 1 36 .
Peehu throws 1 die and square the number that appears on it.
The number of possible outcomes for the square of the number is 36 is 1, and the number of possible outcomes for one dice is 6 .
So the probability for the dice thrown by Peehu is 1 6 = 6 36 .
Hence 6 36 > 1 36 .
Hence the correct statement is that Peehu has the better chance of getting the number 36 .
Hence the statement is false.
Therefore, option 2 is correct.
