Answer: The required value of P(A∪B) is
(37)/(50).

Step-by-step explanation: For the two event A and B, we have the following probabilities :


P(A)=(7)/(20),~~P(B)=(3)/(5),~~P(A\cap B)=(21)/(100).

We are to find the following probability :


P(A\cup B)=?

From the laws of probability, we have


P(A\cup B)\\\\=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\=(7)/(20)+(3)/(5)-(21)/(100)\\\\\\=(35+60-21)/(100)\\\\\\=(74)/(100)\\\\\\=(37)/(50).

Thus, the required value of P(A∪B) is
(37)/(50).
