Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{5}{12}$
Probability = $\frac{n u m b e r o f f a v o u r a b l e o u t c o m e s}{t o t a l n u m b e r o f o u t c o m e s}$

Total number of times the coin is tossed = 60

Number of time the tail appears = 35

Number of times head appears = (60 - 35) = 25

Probability of getting a head = $\frac{25}{60} = \frac{5}{12}$
