One is taking some value for number of housing units...
Choices have 6, 10, 15 & 30, all factors of 30..... so let's take the number as 30
Houses with CT.... 1/5th so \(\frac{1}{5}*30=6\)..
Houses with VCR 1/10th so \(\frac{1}{10}*30=3\)..
But houses having both= \(\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{5}*30=2\)....
\(Total=6+3-2=7\).....
So Houses with neither = 30-7=23..
Fraction=\(\frac{23}{30}\)
Another way...
Ans =\(1-( CT+VCR-BOTH)=1-( \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{5})=1-(\frac{3}{10}-\frac{1}{15})=1-\frac{7}{30}=\frac{23}{30}\)..

Let total Housing Units = 5x.
As per question, Equipped with Cable TV = x
Equipped with VCR = x/2, which includes x/3 CTV. So, only VCR = x/2 - x/3 = x/6.
So, Cable TV + VCR = x + x/6 = 7x/6
No Cable TV and VCR = 5x - 7x/6 = 23x/6.
Fraction = 23x/(6 * 5x) = 23/30. Hence, A.
