Detailed Solution

According to the question, we have to find the probability of throwing a number greater than 2 with a fair die.
The possible set of values that can be obtained on a die is

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

.
Thus, the total possible outcomes is = 6
Number of favorable outcomes

{3, 4, 5, 6}

= 4
So the probability of getting a number greater than 2 is given as,

P (E) = n o . of favorable outcomes total number of outcomes

⇒ P E = 46 ⇒ P E = 23

So, the probability of getting a number greater than 2 on the die is given by

23

.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
