Let A be the event that Mr. A will die and B be the event that Mr. B will die Then, required probability

= P[(A will die and B alive) or (B wll die and A alive)]

= PA  B'  B  A'= PA  B' + PB  A'       these events are mutually exclusive= PA . PB' + PB . PA'        A and B are independent= 121 - 13 + 131 - 12= 26 + 16 = 36 = 12
