Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

the sides of the cubes are numbered 1 through 6,

So,


P(\text{ getting a 3})=(1)/(6)

if they are both tossed ,

Probability (getting that they will both be a 3) is given by


=(1)/(6)* (1)/(6)\\\\=(1)/(36)

(∵
\\P(\text{A and B})=P(A\cap B)=P(A).P(B)\\)

Therefore, Option 'C' is correct.
