In a game of throwing $3$ coins, a player loses $₹ 5$ for each head and gains $₹ 10$ for each tail. If a random variable $X: S \rightarrow R$ is defined as $X(a) = \text{net gain } (a \in S)$, then the mean of the random variable is (in rupees):

  • A
    $\frac{15}{2}$
  • B
    $-\frac{15}{2}$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $25$
