Question

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) 4

The best I can explain: A coin has two sides i.e. head (H) and tail (T). When a coin is tossed, we can get either head or tail. When 2 coins are tossed, the possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT. Thus, there are 4 outcomes when 2 coins are tossed.
