➡️Since either coin can turn up Head (H) or Tail (T), are the possible outcomes.

➡️Let us assume that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are the possible outcomes when the die is thrown.

➡️The problem can be solved by dividing it into 3 cases

➡️Case 1: The outcome is Head and the corresponding number on the die shows Odd number

➡️Total number of sample space = (1 × 3) = 3

Total number of sample space = (1 × 3) = 3Sample space SHO = {(H,1), (H,3), (H,5)}

➡️Case 2: The outcome is Head and the corresponding number on the die shows Even number

➡️Total number of sample space = (1 × 3 × 6) = 18

➡️Case 3: The outcome is Tail

➡️Total number of sample space=1

➡️Sample space ST = {(T)}
