In Figure observer S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at x1 = 1200

Question:

In Figure observer S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at x1 = 1200 m and, slightly later, a small flash occurs at x1 = 480 m. The time interval between the flashes is Δ t = t2 – t1. What is the smallest value of Δ t for which observer S' will determine that the two flashes occur at the same x' coordinate?
