Question

4. There is a circular path around a sports field.
Raman takes 18 minutes to complete one round
of the circular path, while Anupriya takes 12
minutes for the same. Suppose they both start
at the same point and at the same time and go in
the same direction. After how many minutes
will they meet again at the starting point?​

Answer 1

Answer:

After 36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum time at they will meet = LCM of

(18,12)

Therefore,

18 = 2×3×3

12 = 2×2×3

LCM (18,12) = 2×2×3×3

= 36 minutes

Hence, they will meet after 36 minutes.
