a scooter and an auto run Around a circular ground in 24mins and 16 mins. they start from a given point at 6.30pm when will they meet again at the starting point?
Answers
Answer:
At 7:18 pm They will meet at starting point
Step-by-step explanation:
*note:- whenever it is given that two men/vehicle cover a circulat track in X and Y minute/hour,or some bells are ringing at an interval of a,b,c minute/hour we will find the LCM and it will give the time after which they will meet or ring at same time
So according to question we have
A scooter covers a circular ground in 24 minute
A auto covers the same circular ground in 16 minute
We first find out the LCM of 24 AND 16
*LCM is simply a minimum value which is divided by both 24 and 16
so LCM (24,16) = 48
Ii means they will meet after 48 minute
They started at 6:30 pm
Thus,again they will meet at 6:30 + 48 minute = 7:18 pm
