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
- 4
- 3
- 2
- 5
Solution:
Time taken by each of them to complete one round
\( = \frac{{{\text{Circumference of the circle}}}}{{{\text{speed}}}}\)
Time taken for Ram to cover one round \( = \frac{{2\pi \times 100}}{{15 \times 5/18}} = 48\pi \)
Time taken for Rahim to cover one round \( = \frac{{2\pi \times 20}}{{5 \times 5/18}} = 28.8\pi \)
Time taken by Ram and Rahim meet each other for the first time \( = LCM\) of \(48\pi \) and \(28.8\pi = 144\pi \)
\(\therefore \) Number of rounds made by Ram before he meets Rahim for the first time \( = \frac{{144\pi }}{{48\pi }} = 3\)
