Mathematics · Speed, Time and Distance
Two runners, X and Y, begin running on a 500-metre circular track from the same point at the same time, moving in the same direction. Runner X completes one full lap in 60 seconds, while runner Y takes 75 seconds for the same. Every time Y is diametrically opposite to X on the track, a bell rings. Then, before they both arrive together again at the starting point, how many times will the bell ring, and what is the sum of the total distances (in km) each runner will have covered till they meet again?
