Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

P( tail on a coin) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

  Even numbers on a care 2, 4 and 6

  P( even number on a die) = \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

  P( tail on a coin and even number on a die) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
