    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let G represent geniuses

    Let C represent chocolate

    P (G) = 60% = 0.60

    P (C) = 70% = 0.70

    P (G and C) = 40% = 0.40

    P (G and C) = P (G) + P (C) - P (G or C)

    0.4 = 0.6 + 0.7 - P (G or C)

    0.4 = 1.3 - P (G or C)

    P (G or C) = 1.3 - 0.4

    = 0.9

    P (student is neither a genius or chocolate lover) = 1 - P (G or C)

    = 1 - 0.9

    = 0.1
