Detailed Solution

We need to find the probability of getting at least one head when two coins are tossed simultaneously.
There must be a total of four outcomes.
Sample space ={HH,HT,TH,TT}   So, we have three cases in which at least one head is there from the total four cases.
We can calculate the probability using the formula,
P(A)=  number of favorable outcomes   total number of outcomes   
Probability of getting at least one head = 3 4  .
Hence, option 3 is correct.
