उत्तर
The smallest common multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is the shortest length of the path.
Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
The smallest common multiple is 30.
So, the shortest length of the path is 30 m.
