Correct Answer: 15
Solution : We have, Two cyclists at a speed of 30 km/hr and 25 km/hr. A circular cycling track = 75 km. The time taken by the two cyclists to reach the starting point is $\frac{75}{30}$ hrs and $\frac{75}{25}$ hrs respectively. Time of meeting at starting track for first time = LCM of time taken by individuals to complete one lap = LCM ($\frac{75}{30}, \frac{75}{25}$) = LCM (2.5, 3) = 15 hrs Hence, the correct answer is 15.
