Answer 1

There are four different types of coins, and the event of obtaining four blue faces and zero white faces is impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four different types of coins: blue-blue, white-white, blue-white, and white-blue. We need to determine which of the following events is impossible to occur.

1. A. Obtener una cara azul y tres caras blancas.
   This event is possible because we have a coin that shows one blue face and three coins with one white face each.
2. B. Obtener dos caras azules y dos caras blancas.
   This event is possible because we have two blue-white coins that can show a combination of two blue faces and two white faces.
3. Obtener tres caras azules y una cara blanca.
   This event is possible because we have one blue-white coin that can show three blue faces and one white face.
4. C. Obtener cuatro caras azules y cero blancas.
   This event is impossible because we don't have a coin that shows four blue faces.
