    Products are even in 2 cases.
    1) When even is multiplied by even.
    2) When odd is multiplied by even.
    so, the total no of such cases are
    (1,2),(1,4),(1,6)
    (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6)
    (3,2),(3,4),(3,6)
    (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)
    (5,2),(5,4),(5,6)
    (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)

    so, 27/36 = 3/4

    We know the product will be odd if and only if both the numbers in the dice are odd. In all other cases (odd,even), (even,odd), (even,even) the product will be even. Now,
    The probability that the product will be even= 1 – probability that both the numbers will be odd

    The probability that both the numbers will be odd= 3/6 * 3/6 =9/36
    Hence the req probability=1- 9/36 = 27/36
