Will use A and B in place of a and b for clarity.
Let x=number of individuals away from A, including A & B

Without loss of generality, assume A is seated in seat #1.

Then B is seated at 2,3,4,5 with equal probability.
Half of the time B is seated at 2 or 5, each of which is next to A, therefore x=2
The other half of the time B is seated at 3 or 4, each of which is separated from A by one seat, then x=3.

The expected number of individuals
E[X]=sum (x*P(x))
=2*(1/2)+3(1/2)
=2.5

So the expected number of individuals to handle the message is 2.5.

Here is your answer

SSS

REASON:

SSS congruency states that, if all the three sides of a triangle are respectively equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle then both triangles are said to be congruent.

Here, in both triangles

7units=7 units

8units=8units

Middle side is common to both triangles so it is equal.

Hence, both triangles are congruent by SSS
