If you observe :
No. of steps required to reach Pink mark
= 2 (Two steps right)
= 4 (One step left and 3 steps right)
= 6 (Two steps left and 4 steps right)

No. of steps required to reach Green mark
= 3 (Three steps left)

Total no. of tosses = 2T + 3
2T = even number
3 = odd number
Even num + odd num = odd num
Odd = Green.
Hence suff
