Answer

On tossing a die, favourable outcomes are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

∴ No. of possible outcomes = 6.

Favourable outcomes for getting a number smaller than 8 is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 6.

P(getting a number smaller than 8) = No. of favourable outcomesNo. of possible outcomes=66\dfrac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \dfrac{6}{6} = 1.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
