Guys, does anyone know the answer?
get two circular tracks t1 and t2 of radii 100 m and 20 m, respectively touch at a point a. starting from a at the same time, ram and rahim are walking on track t1 and track t2 at speeds 15 km/hr and 5 km/hr respectively. the number of full rounds that ram will make before he meets rahim again for the first time is from screen.
[Solution] Two circular tracks T1 and T2 of radii 100 m and 20 m, respectively touch at a point A. Starting from A at the same time, Ram and Rahim are walking on track T1 and track T2 at speeds 15 km/hr and 5 km/hr respectively. The number of full rounds that Ram will make before he meets Rahim again for the first time is
Two circular tracks T1 and T2 of radii 100 m and 20 m, respectively touch at a point A. Starting from A at the same time, Ram and Rahim are walking on track T1 and track T2 at speeds 15 km/hr and 5 km/hr respectively. The number of full rounds that Ram will make before he meets Rahim again for the first time is - To complete one round Ram takes 100m/15kmph and Rahim takes 20m/5kmph They meet for the first time after L.C.M of (100m/15kmph , 20m/5kmph) = 100m/5kmph=20m/kmph. Distance traveled by Ram =20m/kmph * 15kmph =300m. So, he must have ran 300/100=3 rounds. **Note:** CAT gave both 2 and 3 as correct answers because of the word '**before**'.

Solution
To complete one round Ram takes 100m/15kmph and Rahim takes 20m/5kmph
They meet for the first time after L.C.M of (100m/15kmph , 20m/5kmph) = 100m/5kmph=20m/kmph.
Distance traveled by Ram =20m/kmph * 15kmph =300m.
So, he must have ran 300/100=3 rounds.
Note:CAT gave both 2 and 3 as correct answers because of the word 'before'.

Q. Two circular tracks T1 and T2 of radii 100 m and 20 m, respectively touch at a point A. Starting from A at the same time, Ram and Rahim are walking on track T1 and track T2 at speeds 15 km/hr and 5 km/hr respectively. The number of full rounds that Ram will make before he meets Rahim again for the first time is ?3 2 4 5
Answer: 3Solutions:Length of track T1 = Circumference of T1 = 2πr=2×3.14×100=614
Length of track T2 = Circumference of T2 = 2πr=2×3.14×20=122.8
So ratio of length = 614/122.8 = 5:1
Ratio of speed = 15 : 5 = 3:1
Ratio of time to cover their respective track = 5/3 : 1 = 5:3
Thus when Ram will make 3 rounds of T1 Rahim will make 5 round of T2 and they will meet at A again.
Thus the required answer = 3

Calculation:Circumference of T1 = 2πr1 = 2 × 3.14 × 100 = 614
Circumference of T2 = 2πr2 = 2 × 3.14 × 20 = 122.8
Ratio of length = 614 : 122.8 = 5 : 1
Speed ratio = 15 : 5 = 3 : 1
Ratio of time to cover the tracks = (5/3) : 1 = 5 : 3
When Ram will make 3 rounds of T1 Rahim will make 5 round of T2 so both will meet again at point A
∴ The number of full rounds that Ram makes before he meets Rahim for the first time time is 3.Download Solution PDF
