Q. Acircular field has a circumference of 248km,3 uylists starts together I can cycle 30,40<48km a day. Round thefields when will they meetagain. Ti2odays.
Calculate Radius: Calculate the radius of the circular field using the circumference.Circumference = 2πr248=2πrr=2π248r≈39.5 km
Determine Time: Determine the time it takes for each cyclist to complete one round.Time = Circumference / SpeedTime for cyclist 1 (30 km/day): 248/30≈8.27 daysTime for cyclist 2 (40 km/day): 248/40≈6.2 daysTime for cyclist 3 (48 km/day): 248/48≈5.17 days
Find LCM: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the times to determine when all cyclists will meet.LCM of 8.27, 6.2, and 5.17 days.Approximate to nearest whole numbers: 8, 6, and 5 days.LCM(8,6,5)=120 days
