I am not able to understand this question based on circular tracks:
$A$ and $B$ start together from the same point on a circular track, and walk in the same direction until they both again arrive together at the starting point. $A$ completes one round in $224$ seconds and $B$ in $364$ seconds. How many times $A$ might have passed $B$?
Firstly I took the LCM of $224$ and $364$ in order to find the meeting point: $2^5*7*13$. Then I divided this by $224$ to get the number of rounds taken by $A$ as $13$. Similarly I divided the LCM by $364$ to get the number of rounds taken by $B$ as $8$. So I think $A$ and $B$ must meet $8$ times, but the answer is $5$ i.e. difference between $13$ and $8$. Why? How can they meet just $5$ times? Can anyone explain?
A does 5 rounds more than B, so A will pass B 5 times
