Solution

Bunny is on square number 99. Bunny jumps on every 5th square.
In a single jump, Bunny covers 5 steps. We have to count Bunny's 10th jump.
Number of steps Bunny covers in 10 jumps = 10×5 = 50
Thus,
Square number reached by Bunny = 99 + 50 = 149

Tarru is on square number 106. Tarru jumps on every 4th square.
In a single jump, Tarru covers 4 steps. We have to count Tarru's 10th jump.
Number of steps Tarru covers in 10 jumps = 10×4 = 40
Thus,
Square number reached by Tarru = 106 + 40 = 146

Gabru is on square number 90. Gabru jumps on every 7th square.
In a single jump, Gabru covers 7 steps. We have to count Gabru's 10th jump.
Number of steps Gabru covers in 10 jumps = 10×7 = 70
Thus,
Square number reached by Gabru = 90 + 70 = 160

• Tarru and Bunny jump on squares 114, 134, 154 and 174.
• All three of them jump together on square 174.
• Gabru will finish it in the least number of jumps, that is, 8.
