    Explanation:

    P(won at least 1 game)= 1- P(won no games)
    =1- [P(lost 1st game)*P(lost second game)] =1- [(1-0.4)*(1-0.2)] (0.2) in the second bracket

    because after losing the first game the probability of wining the second match is 0.2.

    So 1-0.2 is the probability of losing that game too.

    Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
