Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Let C and S represents the set of students who opted for NCC and NSS respectively.
$ \therefore $ $ n(C)=40,n(S)=30,n(C\cup S)=20 $ Now, $ n(C\cup S)=40+30-20=50 $
So, number of students who has opted neither for NCC nor for NSS are $ 60-50=10 $
So, P(Neither C nor S) $ \frac{10}{60}=\frac{1}{6} $
