Solution

Three coins are tossed in the air and two of the coins land with tails face upwards.

Assuming that the coins are fair and the first part does not try to indicate that they are not fair. The outcomes that make at least two coins heads are :

HHT, HHH, HTH, THH

Thus, outcome is 4 out of 8 = 50%

=> Ans - (A)
