Explanatory Answer

R1 = 100m and R2 = 20m
Speed of Ram = 15km/hr and Rahim’s speed = 5km/hr
Time taken by Ram = \\frac{2π(100)}{15})
Time taken by Rahim = \\frac{2π(20)}{5})
Ratio of the time taken by Ram : Rahim = 5 : 3
After 15 units of time Ram and Rahim will be at starting point and meeting
That time ram would have done 3 rounds
