  • Shuttles A and B will leave the station together for the second time after 40 minutes

    Given the following

    • Time that Shuttle A returns to the station = 8 minutes
    • Time that shuttle B returns to the station = 10 minutes

    Shuttles A and B will leave the station together for the second time at;

    Looking for the LCM of 8 and 10

    8  = 2 * 2 * 2

    10 = 2 * 5

    LCM = 2 * 2 * 2 * 5

    LCM = 8 * 5

    LCM = 40 minutes

    Hence Shuttles A and B will leave the station together for the second time after 40 minutes
