Answer:
the probability that the first to arrive has to wait longer than 10 mins is 35/36.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to denote by X and Y the time past 12 noon that the man and woman arrive.
Then you have to compute P(X+10<Y)+P(Y+10<X), which by symmetry equals 2P(X+10<Y).
So basically you have to compute P(X+10<Y).

Answer should be 25/72
But since we want 2× of the above probability 2× 25/72 = 25/36 final answer.
