.

(A).  The probability of getting two heads and a six is  %281%2F2%29%5E2%2A%281%2F6%29 = 1%2F24.



(B)  The probability of getting one tail, one head and a three is  2%2A%281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F6%29 = 1%2F12.



(C)  The probability to get the event  (A or B) is the sum  1%2F24 + 1%2F12 = 3%2F24 = 1%2F8.
