Of every three agents, one is also a clerk. Let A, B and C are agents and one of them is clerk too, say B.

Of every two clerks, one is also an agent. Let B and D are clerks. Now we know that B is agent too, Now B and D are in accordance with the mentioned statement.

total outcome = 4 [A,B,C,D]
Favorable outcome = 1, i.e. B

1/4

Answer is C

For each person who is both agent and clerk, we have two agents and one clerk.
Hence, among (1 + 2 + 1) = 4 people there is only one person who is both agent and clerk.

Required probability = 1/4

The correct answer is C.
