The question was asked in exam.

I would like to ask this question from Probability topic in division Probability of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer 1

Right option is (b) 12

Explanation: If head come on coin then red dice can have 6 outcomes so total 1*6 = 6 outcomes.                                           And if tail come on coin then blue dice can have 6 outcomes so total 1*6 = 6 outcomes.

So, total number of possible outcomes = 6 + 6 = 12.
