    A coin is tossed and a dice is rolled. The probability that the coin shows the head and the dice shows 6 is

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{6}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{12}\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{24}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Probability of getting a head on tossing a coin\[({{P}_{1}})=\frac{1}{2}\].  Probability of getting a six on rolling a dice\[({{P}_{2}})=\frac{1}{6}\]. These two events are independent. So the probability that the coin shows the head and the dice shows 6 is given by \[P={{P}_{1}}\times {{P}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}\].
