(b) Length of the track = 2×722​×175=1100m Distance to be covered for the first meeting = 550 m Speed of Akkal =1001100​=11m/s Speed of Bakkal = 501100​ = 22 m/sTime taken from the start of the first meeting =11+22550​=350​sTime taken for Akkal and Bakkal to meet again at Love point = LCM of time taken by them to go around the track once.= LCM of 111100​ and 221100​= LCM of 100 and 50= 100 sSo, the total required time = 350​+100+100=3650​=21632​s
