Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 240 seconds Given: Speed of A = 36 km/hr = 36 × 5/18 = 10 m/sec Speed of B = 54 km/hr = 54 × 5/18 = 15 m/sec Speed of C = 18 km/hr = 18 × 5/18 = 5 m/sec Formula used: Speed = Distance/Time Calculation: Time taken by A to complete 1 round = 1200/10 = 120 seconds Time taken by B to complete 1 round = 1200/15 = 80 seconds Time taken by C to complete 1 round = 1200/5 = 240 seconds ∴ The meeting time will be LCM of (120, 80, 240) i.e = 240 seconds |
