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 / thilak desingh

Guys, there can be two ways of interpreting,

1) How often they meet at any point
2) How often they meet at starting point

1) LCM { L/a-b , L/b-c} = 60 seconds

2) LCM { L/a , L/b , L/c } ~ 120 seconds

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 2 No
