Question

Find the total number of outcomes when two coins and a die are tossed and rolled simultaneously.

• A. 10
• B. 14
• C. 24
• D. 36

Answer 1

The correct option is C

24

Let us take a number 1 on the die and try to find the outcomes for this number.

Possible outcomes when two coins are tossed: (H , H), (H , T), (T, H), (T ,T).

Hence for a number 1 on the die, we have 4 outcomes : (H , H, 1), (H , T, 1), (T, H, 1), (T ,T, 1).

We have 6 numbers on a die,
$\therefore$ Total number of outcomes = 6 $\times$ 4 = 24
