Prev Question 15
There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?
Answer:
Since, Both Sonia and Ravi move in the same direction and at the same time, the method to find the time when they will be meeting again at the starting point is LCM of 18 and 12.
Therefore, LCM(18,12) = 2×3×3×2×1=36
Hence, Sonia and Ravi will meet again at the starting point after 36 minutes.

Medium Open in App Solution Verified by Toppr
Correct option is A)
The time of their meeting is the LCM of 18 and 12 in minutes.Prime factorisation of 18=2×3×3
Prime factorisation of 12=2×2×3
Hence, LCM of 18,12=2×3×3×2=36
Sonia and Ravi meet after 36 minutes.

Ex 1.2 , 7 There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point? Time taken by Sonia to drive one round = 18 minutes Time taken by Ravi to drive one round = 12 minutes Time taken by both to meet again = LCM of 18 & 12 We find LCM of 18 and 12 using prime factorization L.C.M (Method 1) L.C.M = Product of greatest power of each prime factor = 22 × 32 = 4 × 9 = 36 Hence, Time taken by both to meet again = LCM of 18 & 12 = 36 minutes L.C.M (Method 1) L.C.M = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 36 Hence, Time taken by both to meet again = LCM of 18 & 12 = 36 minutes
