Detailed Solution

We know that, if all possible outcomes of an event have equal possibilities of happening, they are said to be equally likely.
For Ex. if a coin is tossed, then there are equal chances of getting a head (H) or a tail (T) so, getting head or tail are equally likely events. Similarly, if a die has 6 faces marked as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The following results are possible if we toss one die:
Possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 = (6).
When we throw a dice, we can see that we have six equally likely chances as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 on its faces.
So, in a throw of a die, the outcomes are equally likely.
Therefore, given statement is true.
Hence, option (1) is correct.
