Practicing Success
Four runners started running simultaneously from a point on a circular track. They took 400 seconds, 600 seconds, 720 seconds and 900 seconds to complete one round. After how much time did they meet at the starting point for the first time since the race started? |
4200 sec 2400 sec 3600 sec 1800 sec |
3600 sec |
During their individual time , all of them cover different number of round . So , meeting time will be LCM of individual's time LCM of ( 400 , 600 , 720 , 900 ) = 3600 sec So , they will meet after 3600 sec |
