Question

A and b are moving along a circular path. A complete one round in 2 hours and b in 3 hours. They both started at 8am. How many times they cross each other till 9:30 am

Answer 1

GIVEN ;-

⇒ A and B walk around the circular track

⇒ A and B starts to walk around the circular park but in opposite direction

Solution-

Let us find their respective speed. -

Respective speed = Total speed of A + Total speed of B

                           =   2  +  3  = 5

So respective speed or  relative speed is equal to 5 rounds \ hr.

⇒ So by this statement we derive that A and B cross 5 times.

⇒

 Hence we can say that A And B cross 5 times in only 1 hr.

       

                                    A and B cross 2 times in 1 \ 2 hrs

Time lapse  between  8 a.m and 9.30 a.m is  1.5 hrs.

No. of times did A and B cross in 1  hr + No. of times did A and B cross in 1 \2 hrs =   

⇒ 5  +  2 = 7  hrs

⇒Answer ;-  Hence A and B cross 7 times
