Under the given condition, there are only three possible outcomes


    (1,1), (2,1) and (1,2).


So, the space of events in this case consists of 3 events with equal probability  1%2F3  of each.


Of them, there is only one favorable outcome (1,1).


Thus the answer to the problem's question is  1%2F3.
