0.40
0.50

Solution:

The probability that the LPG will last atmost 90 days

=0.6

Thus, the probability that the LPG will last more than 90 days

=0.4

The probability that the LPG will last more than 60 days = 0.8 = The probability that the LPG will last 60 to 90 days + The probability that the LPG will last more than 90 days
Hence, 0.4 + The probability that the LPG will last 60 to 90 days = 0.8
Hence, The probability that the LPG will last 60 to 90 days = 0.8- 0.4 = 0.4
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
