Question

Three monkeys step of together from the same spot. Their steps measure 25 cm, 15 cm and 36 cm respectively. What is the minimum distance each should cover so that all can cover the same distance in complete steps​

Answer 1

Here, the required minimum distance will be equal to the LCM of measures of their steps.

Step measure of 1st Boy = 63 cm

Step measure of 2nd Boy = 70 cm

Step measure of 3rd Boy = 77 cm

LCM of 63,70,77

LCM=2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 = 6930

Hence, the minimum distance each should cover so that all can cover the distance in complete steps is 6930 cm.
