A Correct answer
Explanation

There are 36 total outcomes when two dice are thrown. The outcomes where both show the same number are (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), which is 6 outcomes. Probability = 6/36 = 1/6.

AI explanation

When Neelam throws a dice, she can get any number from 1 to 6. For the outcome to be the same number, Nidhi must roll that exact same number on her dice, which gives 1 favorable outcome out of 6 possible outcomes. Using the basic probability formula, the chance that both throw the same number is 1/6.
