Question

Three particles A , B and C start from different points on the same circle and move in the anticlockwise direction with constant speeds 1 m/s, 2 m/s and 3 m/s respectively. The ratio of distances travelled by B and C by the instant all three meet for the first time is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Up to the meeting instant the travel time t is the same for all three, so d C ​ d B ​ ​ = v C ​ v B ​ ​ = 3 2 ​ , i.e. 2 : 3.
