Answer: Option 4

The question requires you to find number of the outcomes in which at most 3 coins turn up as heads. i.e., 0 coins turn heads or 1 coin turns head or 2 coins turn heads or 3 coins turn heads. The number of outcomes in which 0 coins turn heads is, 6C0 = 1 outcome. The number of outcomes in which 1 coin turns head is, 6C1 = 6 outcomes. The number of outcomes in which 2 coins turn heads is, 6C2 = 15 outcomes. The number of outcomes in which 3 coins turn heads is, 6C3 = 20 outcomes. Therefore, total number of outcomes = 1 + 6 + 15 + 20 = 42 outcomes.
