A. 210
B. 29
C. 3 × 28
D. None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
When a coin is tossed once, there are two outcomes. It can turn up a head or a tail. When 10 coins are tossed simultaneously, the total number of outcomes = 210 Out of these, if the third coin has to turn up a head, then the number of possibilities for the third coin is only 1 as the outcome is fixed as head. Therefore, the remaining 9 coins can turn up either a head or a tail = 29Related Questions on Permutation and Combination
