Solution
Total number of outcomes when 3 dice are thrown = `6xx6xx6=216`
Number of outcomes in which there is an odd number on all the three dice =`3xx3xx3=27`
∴ Number of outcomes in which there is an even number at least on one dice = {Total possible outcomes}- {Number of outcomes in which there is an odd number on all the three dice } =`216xx27=189`
