Two friends have decided to meet between 3 and 4 o clock and they have decided to wait for 15 mins to meet (for eg A have reached by 3 he will wait for 15 mins for B similarly B also ) then what is the probability of both are meeting?
A.
5/16
B.
7/16
C.
9/16
D.
3/16

• b/w 3 to 4 is 60 minutes if A is came wait 15 minutes then return or b is came then return so they don't meet in 45 minutes so .. 45*45 is event for nt meeting 60*60 is sample space for meet they any time then probability for meeting is.
  1-45*45/60*60= 1-9/16= 7/16.
