They are not correct. The father with blood group $A$ has genotype $\left.I^A\right|^0$. The mother with blood group $B$ has genotype $\left.I^B\right|^0$. Hence, the possible genotypes of the children will be $\left.\left.\right|^A\right|^B,\left.\left.\right|^A\right|^O,\left.I^B\right|^O$ and $\left.I^O\right|^{\circ}$. Thus, the possible blood groups of children will be $A B, A, B$ and $O$. Hence, if the father has blood group $A$, and the mother has blood group B, it is possible for them to have children with blood group O .
