Answer:

  (c)  24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of working problems differs by ...

  (1 problem)/(1.5 minutes) - (1 problem)/(2 minutes)

  = (2/3 -1/2) problems/minute

  = 1/6 problems per minute

So, to make up the difference of 4 problems will take ...

  time = quantity/rate = (4 problems)/(1/6 problem/minute) = 24 minutes

Caroline and Chase will be on the same problem after 24 minutes.

_____

Additional comment

Technically speaking, Chase will just be finishing problem 26 when Caroline starts it after 19.5 minutes. At that point in time, they are on the same problem. The answer choices suggest the real question is, "after how many minutes will they be starting the same problem at the same time?" After 24 minutes, both will be starting problem 29 at the same time.
