Question

A coin is tossed and a die is thrown simultaneously :
P is the event of getting head and a odd number.
Q is the event of getting either H or T and an even number.
R is the event of getting a number on die greater than 7 and a tail.

S is the sample space.
Which of the following options is correct ?

n(S) = 12, n(P) = 3, n(Q) = 2, n(R) = 0

n(S) = 12, n(P) = 3, n(Q) = 3, n(R) = 0

n(S) = 12, n(P) = 3, n(Q) = 6, n(R) = 0

n(S)=12, n(P) = 3, n(Q) = 5, n(R) = 0

A coin is tossed and a die is thrown simultaneously.
S = {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}
Thus n(S) = 12,
P is the event of getting head and an odd number.
P = {H1, H3, H5}
Thus n(P) = 3
Q is the event of getting either H or T and an even number.
Q = {H2, H4, H6, T2, T4, T6}
Thus n(Q) = 6
R is the event of getting a number greater than 7 and tail 1.
R = {}
∴ n(R) = 0
Hence, option C is correct.
