Answer 1

Answer:

36 minutes

2 rounds for Priya

3 rounds for Ravish

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the LCM (least common multiple) of 12 and 18.

12 = 2^2 x 3

18 = 3^2 x 2

=>LCM of 12 and 18 = 2^2 x 3^2 = 4 x 9 = 36

=> After 36 minutes they meet again at the starting point

=> At that time, Priya has completed: 36/18 = 2 rounds

=> At that time, Ravish has completed: 36/12 = 3 rounds
