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}

(iii) Now,

Probability that the student has opted NSS but not NCC = P(B \cap A' ) = P(B-A)

We know,

P(B-A) = P(B) -  P(A \cap B) 

= \frac{8}{15}- \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8-6}{15}

= \frac{2}{15}

Hence,the probability that the student has opted NSS but not NCC is \frac{2}{15}
