Two runners, Alice and Bob, are racing on two different circular tracks, $T1$ and $T2$, with radii $60 \mathrm{\ m}$ and $40 \mathrm{\ m}$ respectively. They both start from point $P$ at the same moment. Alice runs on track $T1$ at a constant speed of $12 \mathrm{\ km} / \mathrm{hr}$ and Bob runs on track $T2$ at a constant speed of $8 \mathrm{\ km} / \mathrm{hr}$. After how many full rounds of Alice does she meet Bob again for the first time since the race started?

A boat takes $2$ hours to travel downstream a river from port A to port B , and $3$ hours to return to port A . Another boat takes a total of $6$ hours to travel from port $B$ to port $A$ and return to port $B$. If the speeds of the boats and the river are constant, then the time, in hours, taken by the slower boat to travel from port $A$ to port $B$ is

Leaving home at the same time, Amal reaches the office at $10:15 am$ if he travels at $8 km/hr$, and at $9:40 am$ if he travels at $15 km/hr$. Leaving home at 9:10, at what speed, in $km/hr,$ must be travel so as to reach office exactly at $10 am?$
