Solution

To find the probability that at least one of them gets promoted, we can use the concept of complementary probability.

The complementary probability of an event is equal to 1 minus the probability of the event not happening.

So, the probability that neither Amar nor Abdul gets promoted is equal to (1 - 0.7) * (1 - 0.9) = 0.3 * 0.1 = 0.03.

Therefore, the probability that at least one of them gets promoted is equal to 1 - 0.03 = 0.97.

So, the correct answer is 0.97.
