Answer:

The time at which they will all meet at a place together is 350 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes Faiza to cycle the park = 60 seconds

The time it takes Krish to cycle the park = 14 seconds

The time it takes Joe to cycle the park = 25 seconds

Therefore, the time they will all meet at a place together is given by their Lowest Common Multiple as follows;

LCM = 60 × 14 × 25 = 21,000 seconds

Therefore, the time at which they will all meet at a place together in minutes = 21000 seconds/(60)×minute/second = 350 minutes
