Solution

The correct option is A 8
We know that, systematic listing helps in listing of all possible outcomes for an event in an organised/systematic way.
Assume head is represented by 'H' and tail is represented by 'T'. The following are all the possibilities in tossing three coins simultaneously:
(i) H - H - H
(ii) H - T - H
(iii) H - H - T
(iv) H - T - T
(v) T - T - T
(vi) T - H - T
(vii) T - T - H
(viii) T - H - H

there are total 8 possible outcomes on tossing three coins simultaneously.
