The time taken by three of them to meet again at the starting point must be a multiple of 18, 24 and 32 and if talk about the minimum possible time, then least common multiple (L.C.M) comes into play.
So, if you find the L.C.M of 18,24 and 32, It will come out to be 288 and therefore they meet again at 288 seconds and its integral multiples.

they will meet after 826 seconds
do L.C.M to find out the answer which means 826 is lowest valued number which occurs in all the 3 tables
