    Answer: A. 14%

    This question can only be answered if you assume the game outcome is only winning or losing, no draw. The team has a 60% chance of winning on Saturday which means they have 40% chance to lose on Saturday. The team has a 35% chance of winning on Sunday which means they have 65% chance to lose on Sunday.

    Then the chance that the team lose both is: 40% x 35% = 14%
