Let

x-----------> the probability that someone buys a book that is paperback

y----------> the probability that someone buys a book that is a fiction

P-----> the probability that someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction

we know that


x=0.65


y=0.45


P=x*y

so

substitute the values


P=0.65*0.45=0.2925

therefore

the answer is the option A


0.2925
