Walking beside you, your friend takes 50 strides per minute while you take 48 strides per minute.
If you start in step, when will you be in step again?
:
Let m = no. of minutes to be in step
50(m-1) = 48m
50m - 50 = 48m
50m - 48m = 50
2m = 50
m = 25 minutes
:
therefore in 25 min you will be in step because:
your friend has completed 25*50 = 1250 steps
while you have completed 25*48 = 1200 steps
