1. It takes Eric 20 minutes to inspect a car. John only needs 18 minutes to inspect a car. If they both start inspecting care at 8:00 am, what is the first time they will finish inspecting a car at the same time?

  • A. 9:30 am
  • B. 9:30 am
  • C. 9:30 am
  • D. 9:30 am

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Least common multiple of 20 & 18 is 180. So, they will finish inspecting a car at the same time after 180 min = 180/60 hr = 3 hr.

Now,  8 am + 3hr = 11 am
