Probability that girl gets scholarship = 0.6
Probability that boy gets scholarship = 0.8

Hence, Probability that girl don't get scholarship = 1-0.6 = 0.4
Probability that boy don't get scholarship = 1-0.8 = 0.2

So, Probability that at least one gets scholarship is: (Girl gets and Boy don't get) OR (Boy gets and Girl don't get) OR (Both Gets)
=(0.6*0.2)+(0.8*0.4)+(0.6*0.8)
=0.12+0.32+0.48
=0.92
