Proportion of students interseted in Investment Banking = 5/7
Proportion of students not interested in Investment Banking = 2/7

2 students are selected at random.
We need to find the probability that at least 1 of the students selected should be interested in investment banking.
P(X>=1)=1-P(X=0)
So to find the probability of atleast 1 student being interested we take 1 - P(None intersted).
P(None interested)= 2/7 * 2/7 = 4/49
Therefore, P(Atleast 1 interested) = 1 - 4/49 = 45/49
