Let A be the event that student opted for NCC and B be the event that the student opted for NSS.

Given, 

n(S) = 60, n(A) = 30, n(B) =32, n(A \cap B) = 24

Therefore, P(A) = \frac{30}{60} = \frac{1}{2}

P(B) = \frac{32}{60} = \frac{8}{15}

P(A \cap B) = \frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}

(ii) Now,

Probability that the student has opted neither NCC nor NSS = P(A' \cap B' )

We know,

P(A' \cap B' ) = 1 - P(A \cup B) [De morgan's law]

And, P(A \cup B) = P(A)+ P(B) - P(A \cap B) 

 = \frac{19}{30}

\therefore P(A' \cap B' ) 

= 1- \frac{19}{30} = \frac{11}{30}

Hence,the probability that the student has opted neither NCC nor NSS. is \frac{11}{30}
