Here it is given that he probability that event A occurs is P(A)=0.3, the probability that event B does not occur is 0.4 that is P(Bc)=0.4 therefore P(B)=1P(Bc)=10.4=0.6
For two event A and B, we know that P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB).
Now if P(AB)=0.7. therefore

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)=0.3+0.60.7=0.90.7=0.2
Therefore the probability that events A and B occur simultaneously is 0.02
