Z = (score-mean)/SD
Compare the Z scores for both methods for each question.
a. Method A, Z = 0, Method B, Z = -2
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportions/probabilities related to the Z scores.
Use a similar process for b and c.
