Another way to see it as:
Possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH and TT, each with equal probability. Hence, 1/4.

Brother this is simple question why you are confusing your self.

Probability of head in two attempts is 50 50.

see first you tossed coin probability of head is 1/2.

Again you tossed coin probability of head is 1/2.

Now simplify the equation by adding 1/2+1/2= 2/4 => 1/2.

Two attempts was just to confuse the question

Brother with no offence, if you add 1/2+1/2=2/2 which is equal to 1. if in the question or was written instead of "and" than we could use addition formula but because of word and we have to multiply both the probabilities.

Here we simply count samples which have only ONE head and that is 2 times(HT, TH). now find its probability. P=K/N= 2/4, N is total no. of samples

Bhai What are you doing with basic math operations.
1/2+1/2=????? it is 1 not 2/4=1/2

This is an agreeable solution with proper logic.
