Unemployed      0.1x          0.45x

Unemployed      0.9x          0.55x

Probability of a person picked is employed is

CASE 1

WHEN RAM TAKES 3 STEPS SUPPOSE ECSEL TAKES P STEPS

I.E. WHEN R TAKES 25 STEPS ECSEL TAKES 25/3P STEPS

WHEN S TAKES 2 STEPS SUPPOSE ECSEL TAKES P STEPS

I.E. WHEN S TAKES 20 STEPS ECSEL TAKES 10P STEPS

TOTAL STEPS = STEPS TAKEN BY S + STEPS MOVD BY S

T=20+10P........(1)

TOTAL STEPS = STEPS TAKEN BY R + STEPS MOVD BY R

T=25+(25/3)P.....(2)

SOLVING WE GET T = 50
