A, B and C start at the same time in the same direction to run around in 252s, B in 308s and C in 198s, all starting at the same point. After what time will they meet again at the starting point?

Correct Answer: 46 min and 12s

Explanation:

The time at which all the three persons meet will be the LCM of the time taken by each person individually to complete one round.
252 = 22 x 71 x 91
308 = 22 x 71 x 111
198 = 21 x 91 x 111
∴ LCM of 252, 308 and 198 = 22 x 71 x 91 x 111 = 2772
So, A, B and C will again meet at the starting point in 2772s i.e., 46 min and 12s
