Q. A circular field has a circumference of 240km,3 cyclists start together and can aycle 30,40 and 481km a day. Round the field's when will the meet again
Calculate Time for Each Cyclist: Calculate the time it takes for each cyclist to complete one lap around the field.- Cyclist A: 240km/30km/day=8days- Cyclist B: 240km/40km/day=6days- Cyclist C: 240km/48km/day=5days
Find Least Common Multiple: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the times to determine when all cyclists will meet at the starting point.- LCM of 8, 6, and 5 is 120 days.
