Vedclass · Answer

(C) To find the time when they meet again at the starting point,we need to find the Least Common Multiple $(LCM)$ of the time taken by Kushan and Rajan to complete one round.Time taken by Kushan = $18$ minutes.Time taken by Rajan = $12$ minutes.Prime factorization of $18 = 2 	imes 3^2$.Prime factorization of $12 = 2^2 	imes 3$.$LCM(18, 12) = 2^2 	imes 3^2 = 4 	imes 9 = 36$.Therefore,they will meet again at the starting point after $36$ minutes.
