Solution

Circumference of the circular field = 360 km
Speed of Abhay = 12 km/hr
Speed of Ravi = 15 km/hr
So time taken by Abhay to travel one round of circular field = 36012 = 30 hr
And time taken by Ravi to travel one round of circular field = 36015 = 24 hr
L.C.M. of 30 and 24 is given by;
30 = 2×5×324 = 2×2×2×3
So L.C.M of 24 and 30 = 2×2×2×5×3 = 120
Therefore after 120 hours both will meet at the starting point.
