Some more Probability.

A A is an archer whose probability of killing a target he aims at is 1 3 \frac{1}{3} . He wants to kill his enemy B B who arrives at a park everyday between 5 5 pmto 6 6 pm and waits there for 30 30 mins from his time of arrival. Archer A A stays at the park for 10 10 mins from his time of arrival (also between 5 5 pm and 6 6 pm). The probability that B B is killed between 5 5 pm to 6 6 pm is given by a b \frac{a}{b} where a a and b b are co-prime. What is the value of a + b a+b if A A has only one shot?

Details: For B B to get killed, both A A and B B must be present at the park at the same time and the A A 's arrow must hit B B .


The answer is 127.
