    Question

    Aditi, Govind, and Pranav take 4 minutes, 5 minutes, and 6 minutes respectively to complete one round of a field. If they start at 10:00 am, at what time will they all meet again at the starting point?

    A.

    10:15 am

    B.

    10:30 am

    C.

    11:00 am

    D.

    12:00 pm

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Information Given in Question:

    - Aditi takes 4 minutes for one round.

    - Govind takes 5 minutes for one round.

    - Pranav takes 6 minutes for one round.

    - All start at 10:00 am.
    Solution:

    All Concept/Formula Used in Question:

    - The time at which all three will meet again is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the three times taken.

    - LCM(4, 5, 6) = 60 minutes.

    Detailed Explanation:

    - To find when all three will be at the starting point together, calculate the LCM of 4, 5, and 6.

    - LCM of 4 and 5 is 20. LCM of 20 and 6 is 60.

    - Hence, they all meet again after 60 minutes from 10:00 am.

    - 10:00 am + 60 minutes = 11:00 am.
