Question:-
There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round
of the field, while Ravi 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:-
To find the required number of minutes
Let us find the LCM of 18 and 12
We have
18 => 2 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 3²
12.=> 2 × 2 × 3 = 2² × 3
LCM (18,12) => 2² × 3² = 36
After 36 minutes Sonia will be at the starting point after completing 2 rounds of the field and Ravi also be at same point after 3 rounds
hope it helps you......
