Question : A and B start running at the same time and from the same point around a circle. If A can complete one round in 40 seconds and B in 50 seconds, how many seconds will it take to reach the starting point simultaneously?
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 200
Option 3: 90
Option 4: 2000
Correct Answer: 200
Solution :
Given:
A and B start running at the same time and from the same point around a circle. If A can complete one round in 40 seconds and B in 50 seconds.
Here, the LCM of 40 and 50 is = 4 × 5 × 10 = 200
So, to reach the starting point simultaneously they will take 200 seconds.
Hence, the correct answer is 200.
