A and B are running around a circular track of length

120 meters with speeds 12 m/s and 6 m/s in the same

direction. When will they meet for the first time?

• A will complete one round in 120/12 =10 secs. B will complete 1 round in 120/6=20 secs. The LCM of these two timings (i.e.10 and 20) is 20 secs. hence both will meet for the first time after 20 secs.

• the diffrence between there speeds 12 m/s - 6 m/s = 6 m/s
  6 m/s is the relative speed between them
  
  t=distance/relative speed
  t=120m/(12-6)m/s
  t=20 m/s ---ans

• after 20 minutes meet A and B

• After 20sec..

• time of a to overlap b 120/12=10 nad time of b to overlaps b is 120/6=20
  So in these type ques take LCM of times to find the first meeting..
  LCM(10,20)=20sec.

• 20 seconds they will meet

• after 20 seconds....
  120/12-6=20

• a and b meat at begining point after completion of one cycle at that time a complete two cycles

• here total distance=120m
  A=12m/s and B=6m/s now they are running in the same direction.
  so their relative speed=(12-6)=6
  time=distance/speed=120/6=20sec

• 20 seconds...formula is c/x-y
  c=120
  x=12
  y=6
  if both are in same direction

• Meet for the first time= Dist of total track/ relative speed
  = 120/12-6 =120/6 = 20sec
