Exponential reliability — a scale-free coincidence

Suppose the lifetimes of two systems, system 1 and system 2, follow exponential distributions with failure rates 2 and 1/21/2 respectively. Let the probability that system `ii' fails prior to its mean time to failure be denoted by pi,i=1,2p_i, i=1,2. Which of the following is true?
