Suppose the man covers first distance in x hrs. and second distance in y hrs.
Then , 4x + 5y = 35 and 5x +4y= 37
Solving these equation , we get
X=5 and y=3
Total time taken = (5+3) hrs= 8hrs
Possible outcomes = (RY, YP, PR)
2C1 4C1 + 4C1 6C1 + 6C1 2C1
Required probability = (2C1 4C1 + 4C1 6C1 + 6C1 2C1)/(12C2)
= 8 + 24 + 12/66
= 44/66
= 2/3.
Here S = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH}
Let E = event of getting at most two heads.
Then E = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT}.
P(E) =n(E)/n(S)=7/8.
