three 8 faced dice are thrown together . the probability that all the three show the same number on them is ?
"it all 3 numbers have to be same basically we want triplets . 111 , 222 , 333 , 444 , 555 , 666 , 777 and 888 . those are eight in number . further the three dice can fall in 8 * 8 * 8 = 512 ways . hence the probability is 8 / 512 = 1 / 64 answer : d"
