A multiple-choice question with 5 possible answers, probability that a random guess is correct is 1%2F5
A multiple-choice question with 3 possible answers, probability that a random guess is correct is 1%2F3

Finding the probability that both responses are correct will be;
%281%2F5%29%2A+%281%2F3%29+=1%2F15
As a percentage will be:
%281%2F15+%29%2A+100=+6.67%
