detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let the probability for getting an odd number be p. Therefore, the probability for getting an even number is 2p. ∴ p+2p=1 or 3p=1 or p=13Sum of two numbers is even means either both are odd or both are even. Therefore, the required probability is 13×13+23×23=19+49=59
