The probabilities that Kailash and Harish survive another 5 years is 0.46, Harish and Prakash survive another 5 years is 0.32 and Kailash and Prakash survive another 5 years is 0.48. The probability that all three sons survive another 5 years is 0.26. What shall be the probability that at least one of them survives another 5 years?
