competition in a pool of 50m length and the race is for 1000m. Dexter
crosses 50m in 2 min and Prexter in 3 min 15 sec. Each time they
meet/cross each other, they do handshake's. How many such handshake's
will happen if they start from the same end at the same time?



Options:
A .  18
B .  19
C .  20
D .  17

In the 20th round, D finish the race and the total handshake's will be:
20−1=19
