An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is a head,a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers on the two faces is noted. If the result is a tail,a card from a well-shuffled pack of eleven cards numbered $2, 3, 4, \dots, 12$ is picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is:

  • A
    $0.24$
  • B
    $0.244$
  • C
    $0.024$
  • D
    None of these
