Let A: A solves the problem and B:B solves the problem independently.
given that p\left ( A \right )= \frac{1}{3}\;\; \; p\left ( B \right )= \frac{1}{5}
\therefore p\left ( \bar{A} \right )=1-p\left ( A \right )= \frac{2}{3}\: ,p\left ( \bar{B} \right )= \frac{4}{5}
\therefore  p(the problem is solved)= 1-p (the problem is not solved)
                                           = 1-p\left ( \bar{A} \right )p\left ( \bar{B} \right )
                                          \Rightarrow 1-\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{4}{5}= \frac{7}{15}
Alternatively, we p(the problem is solved)
                    = p\left ( A \right )p\left ( B \right )+p\left ( \bar{A} \right )p\left ( B \right )+p\left ( \bar{B} \right )p\left ( A \right )
