Question

there is a circular path around the sports field kamal takes 32 minutes to drive one round of the field while indu takes 24 minutes for the same suppose they both start at the same point and go in the same direction after how many minutes they meet again at the starting point ​

Answer 1

Given: Kamal takes 32 minutes to drive one round of the field while Indu takes 24 minutes for the same

To find:

• After how many minutes they meet again at the starting point?

Solution:

• 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
• 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
• So lcm of 32 and 24 is
• = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
• = 96

Now, 96 minutes = 60 minutes + 36 minutes

= 1 hour 36 minutes

Answer: After 1 hour 36 minutes, they will meet again at the starting point.

Answer 2

Answer:

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

So lcm of 32 and 24 is

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

= 96

therefore time taken is 96 min
