Correct Answer - A::B
The probability that both will be alive for 10 years, hence, i.e., the probability that the man and his wife both will be alive 10 years hence is `0.83xx0.87=0.7221.` The probability that at least one of them will be alive is
1-p {That none of them remains alive 10 years hence}
`=1-(1-0.83)(1-0.87)=1-0.17xx0.13=0.9779`
