X is length of wire cut which forms permiter
X=4s
s=x/4
Area needs to be greater than one so
(x/4)^2>1
x>4
Therefore we need the longer cut to be more than 4 meters.
We can aproximate that the cut must be between 0cm and 99cm or 401cm and 500cm.
99*2/500
Must be E, as it is the only one remotley close.
I’m assuming this is an aproximate probability since it will be slightly less than 2/5 (since you cant cut at 100cm or 400cm)

AbhinavKumar - The output of the modulus operation will always yield a non negative value. Hence once we couple that information that value of x will always lie between -1 and 3.

We can solve Statement 1

| |x-1| - 1 | < 1

0 <= | |x-1| - 1 | < 1

0 <= |x-1| - 1 < 1 or -1 < |x-1| - 1 <= 0

should be C

recall that 1=P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B)+P(not A or B)

You get each piece from 1 and 2

but if I am correct: from 1 you find everything that is not A or B which is 0.3, and from 2 you find B (since 2 is everything that is A or not B) which is .1
then you do 1=P(A)+P(B)-Both plus Neither:
P(A and B) can be found from 1:
0.7=P(A)+0.1-Both

1=P(A)+0.1+0.3-0.6+P(A)
1.2=2P(A)
p(A)=0.6
