Given p(A)=0.3 p(B)=0.8

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AnB)

As sum of P(A) and P(B) is greater than one so it's clear P(AnB) !=0 and also P(AUB)<=1  --1

P(A) +P(B)=1.1

so minimum value of P(AnB)=0.1 --to get the maximum value of P(AuB)=1

And maximum value of P(AnB) will be when either of A or B is subset of other as P(A)<P(B) so A is subset of B thus P(AnB)=0.3 (maximum value)

Using this maximum value we will get the minimum value of P(AuB)=0.8

So option a is correct.

I think A should be the answer because ATQ

 n(AUB) =1.1-n(A intersection B)

if n(A intersection B)=0.3

then n(AUB)=0.8

and this only follows in option A.
