three friends a,b,c run around a circular track of length
120m at a speed of 5,7,15m/sec respectively starting
simultaneously from the same point in the same
direction .how often they three will meet????

Answer Posted / manish pal

Soln: When two people are running in the same direction the relative speed is the difference in speeds of the two people.

In this case A=5 B=7 C=15

So relative speed of B wrt A is 7-5 = 3m/s
Relative speed of c wrt to a is 15-3 =15m/s

Therefore relative distances will be:
B wrt A is 120/2 =60
C wrt to A 120/12 =12

So they have to bridge this distance of 60 and 12 between them which is the LCM of 60 and 12 which is 60.

so ans is 60 sec
