A fair coin is tossed and an unbiased dice is rolled together. What is the probability of getting a 2 or 4 or 6 along with head?

A

`(1)/(2)`

B

`(1)/(3)`

C

`(1)/(4)`

D

`(1)/(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Total number of events with dice and coin ` = 6 xx 2 = 12`
Number of possiblities `= (2,H),(4,H) and (6,H)` i.e., 3
` therefore` Probability `= (3)/(12) = (1)/(4)`
