Question 655317: aman and ravi are running around a circular path.aman takes 18 minutes to go ground the path once while ravi takes 12 minutes for the same.Suppose they start at the same point and at the same time and go in the same direction.After how many minutes will they meet at the starting point? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
They will meet at the starting point the first time when both have
made a whole number of laps. That's the LCM of 12 minutes and 18 minutes
which is 36 minutes. So in 36 minutes, Aman has made exactly 2 laps and
Ravi has made exactly 3 laps.
