Solution

The correct option is C

0.75


The explanation for correct option:

Finding the probability:

Let the event that the even face turns up be A and the event that the face is 2or4beB

P(A)=P(2)+P(4)+P(6)

⇒P(A)=0.24+0.18+0.14

⇒P(A)=0.56

P(B)=P(2)+P(4)

⇒P(B)=0.24+0.18

⇒P(B)=0.42

Hence, the required probability is

PBA=P(B∩A)P(A)=P(B)P(A)=0.420.56=0.75.

Hence, option(C) is correct answer
