Correct Answer: 300 sec
Solution :
Speed of Amal = 36 km/hr = 36 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = 10 m/s
Speed of Bimal = 54 km/hr = 54 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = 15 m/s
Time taken by Amal to complete one round = $\frac{1500}{10}$ = 150 sec
Time taken by Bimal to complete one round = $\frac{1500}{15}$ = 100 sec
They will meet at the starting point at a time which is the LCM of the timings taken by each of them to complete one full round. i.e., the LCM of 150 and 100 which is 300 sec.
Hence, the correct answer is 300 sec.
