Similarly, Karthiga and Anjali come to their homes once in 6 days and 10 days respectively. Assuming that they met each other on the 1^st of October, when will all the three meet again?

Answer 1

Find the LCM (5, 6, 10)

LCM (15, 25, 30) = 5 × 6 = 30

They meet again after 30 days

∴ They met on 1^st October

They will meet again on 31^st October
