    A. 0.75

    B. 0.25

    Explanation:

    Let : P (B) be probability of investing in tax free bonds, P (M) be probability of investing in mutual funds.

    P (B or M) i. e P (B U M) = P (B) + P (M) + P (M ∩ B) i. e P (M & B)

    P (B U M) = 0.6 + 0.3 - 0.15

    P (B U M) = 0.75

    P (Neither B or M) = 1 - [ P (B or M) ] = 1 - [ P (B U M) ]

    1 - 0.75 = 0.25
