SR examination question Clarification



For what it is worth, this question was found on the IB Exam of this year.

It is stated in part b of the question that Peter is moving with uniform
motion wrt Jane.
part c asks for derivatio0n of the time dilation equation based on light
clocks
part d asks the question Mark originally posted.

It is clear to me (naively I am sure) that the intention is to apply the
time dilation equation just derived.
