Ram,Rahim and sankar began walking together.Ram stopped after every 32M rahim after every 40M and Sankar after every 60m. They continued walk after a brief halt. After how many meters would they meet again?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Given : Ram , Rahim and Sankar began walking together.Ram stopped after every 32 m Rahim after every 40 m and Sankar after every 60 m.  We find LCM of 32 , 40 and 60

32 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2

And

40 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 5

And

60 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 5

So,

LCM ( 32 , 40 and 60 ) = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 5  = 480

Then ,

They will meet after 480 m                                                                       ( Ans )
