Question

When two coins are tossed and a cubical dice is rolled, then the total outcomes for the compound event is

• A. $48$
• B. $52$
• C. $36$
• D. $24$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $24$

Outcomes when $2$ coin tossed $=2^2=4$

Outcomes when dice is rolled $=6$

According to basic multiplication principle the total outcomes of $n$ independent events is calculated by multiplying outcomes of each and every individual outcomes.

$\Rightarrow$ Total outcome $=4\times 6=24.$

Hence, the answer is $24.$
