The sample space `S`, when a fair coin and an unbiased die are tossed, is given by,
`S={(H,1),(H,2),(H,3),(H,4),(H,5),(H,6),(T,1),(T,2),(T,3),(T,4),(T,5),(T,6)}`
Now, it is given that `A` stands for "head appearing on the coin", i.e.,
`A={(H,1),(H,2),(H,3),(H,4),(H,5),(H,6)}`
Here, total number of outcomes`=12`
So, `P(A)=6/12`
`=>P(A)=1/2`
Also given, `B` stands for "3 appearing on the die", i.e.,
...
