A relay has a series of 5 circuits in a line

A relay has a series of 5 circuits in a line. The even-numbered circuits are control circuits; the odd are buffer circuits. If both a control circuit and the buffer circuit immediately following it both fail in that order, then the relay fails. The probability of circuit one failing is 3/8; circuit two, 3/8; circuit three, 3/10; circuit four, 3/4; and circuit five, 2/5 .What is the probability that the relay fails?
