The book answer to b) is correct. The probability that all five shots land in the outer part of the disk is ##(\frac 3 4)^5##. And the probability that at least one lands in the inner disk is the complement of this.

1, 3/4 1/2, 1/4 are the radii of the concerned concentric circles.
 
Yes, I know. It's not to scale, but the answer remains ##1- (\frac 3 4)^5##.
