Two bicyclist riding on a circular riding track start at the same time.
One can make the full circle in 8 minutes.
The other takes 10 minutes to make a full circle.
How long will it take the fast bicyclist to catch up again with the slow bicyclist?
:
How about this?
In 10 min he is 2 min behind the faster bike
20 min he is 4 min behind
30 min he is 6 min behind
40 min he is 8 min behind at which time the faster bike will catch the slower.
