Read the following passage and answer the question
The results of a random experiment is known as an outcome. The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called the sample space. It is denoted by S.
The outcomes satisfying particular condition are called favourable outcomes.
A set of favourable outcomes is called an event. Event is a subset of the sample space.
There are different types of events.
(a) An event consisting of only one sample point is called an ememtntary event.
(b) An event which does not contain any sample point is called an impossible event.
Write two elementary events of the above experiments.

Two elementary events are possible in a random experiment of tossing two conins simultaneously.
(i) Event A of getting two heads. `A={HH}`
(ii) Event B of getting two tails. `B={T T}.`
