In a game called odd man out `m(m >2)` persons toss a coin to determine who will but refreshments for the entire group. A person who gets an outcome different from that of the rest of the members of the group is called the odd man out. The probability that there is a loser in any game is (A)`1/(2m)` (B) `m/2^(m-1)` (C) `2/m` (D) none of these
