  • A
    7
  • Correct answer
    B
    14
  • C
    212
  • D
    312

Solution

Let, C,B,S be the events such that a person goes to the office by car, bus or scooter respectively.
PC=27,PS=37,PB=27
Let, T be the event that he reaches office in time
PTC=79,PTS=89,PTB=59
PCT=PCPTCPCPTC+PBPTB+PSPTS
=27×7927×79+37×89+27×59=1448=724

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
