Hence x>3/5 cover...

You could use the RTD chart for this: 1) rate time d B 1.5r t = 1.5rt S r t = rt total = 500 1.5rt+rt = 500 2.5rt = 500 rt = 200 so they meet when Sally is at 200 ft. 2) rate time d B r+4 t = rt+4t S r t = rt total = 500 2rt+ 4t = 500 -- Not sufficient. Hence A.

here is the way of how I solved it

Right, Left - legs

you have 10 Rs and 10 Ls

Prob of choosing R out of 20, then matching pair L from rest : 10/20 * 1/19 = 1/38.

similarly you can choose L first then R, hence 1/38 * 2 = 1/19.

C < M < W
