Time taken by A, B, and C to complete one round: 6 min, 8 min, 3 min respectively
Concept:
The time they will meet again at the starting point will be the least common multiple (LCM) of their individual times.
Solution:
LCM of 6, 8, and 3 minutes = 24 minutes
They started at 5:00 p.m. so they will meet again at 5:00 p.m. + 24 minutes ⇒ 5:24 p.m.
Therefore, they will meet again at the starting point at 5:24 p.m.
