In this problem, we must first determine the sample space when two coins are tossed simultaneously.

The sample space when two coins are tossed simultaneously ={(H, H),(H, T),(T, H),(T, T)}

Thus, total number of outcomes = 4

Now, for having atleast one head we need ={(H, T),(T, H),(H, H)}

Thus, number of favourable outcomes = 3

P(getting atleast one head)=number of favourable outcomestotal number of outcomes=34

Hence, the correct answer is 34.
