First of all, we can compute

P( Either Mr. or Mrs. Luk watch )

= P( Mr. Luk watches ) + P( Mrs. Luk watches ) - P( Both watch )

= 0.7 + 0.35 - 0.5

= 0.55



(a) Req. Prob.

= 2( 0.55 - 0.5 ) / ( 1 - 0.7 )

= 0.1 / 0.3

= 1/3

~ 0.3333
=======


(b) Required Prob.

= ( 1 - 0.55 ) / ( 1 - 0.35 )

= 0.45 / 0.65

= 9/13

~ 0.6923
=======


Hope I can help you.
