Correct option is A

For each toss, there are four choices:(i) A gets head, B gets head(ii) A gets tail, B gets head(iii) A gets head, B gets rail(iv) A gets tail, B gets tailThus, exhaustive number of ways is 450. Out of the four choices listed above, (iv) is not favorable to the required event in a toss. Therefore, favorable number of cases is 350. Hence, the required probability is ((3/4)50.
