Question 18

Rachel and Robert run on a circular track. Rachel runs counterclockwise and completes a lap every $90$ seconds, and Robert runs clockwise and completes a lap every $80$ seconds. Both start from the start line at the same time. At some random time between $10$ minutes and $11$ minutes after they begin to run, a photographer standing inside the track takes a picture that shows one-fourth of the track, centered on the starting line. What is the probability that both Rachel and Robert are in the picture?
  1. $\dfrac{1}{16}$
  2. $\dfrac{1}{8}$
  3. $\dfrac{3}{16}$
  4. $\dfrac{1}{4}$
  5. $\dfrac{5}{16}$
