Question

A cat jumps from the 5th step and jumps 5 step at a time . A mouse starts from the 8th step and jumps 4 step at a time , can the mouse get away

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

for this we have to find the LCM.

and the LCM of 5 and 8 is 40

so, if total 40 steps are there then the mouse can jump 8 times to get away but in case of cat it needs to jump only 7 times to catch rat.

therefore, the answer is "no"
