Here's the Solution to this Question

Given that the failure rate of a hard drive is 10%=0.1, the probability that both hard disk drives will fail is,

p(failure)=p(failure of hard disk drive 1)\times (failure of second hard disk drive)

p(failure)=0.1\times0.1 =0.01

Therefore, the probability that both drives will fail is 0.01
