Answer 2

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the red line and the blue line trains just arrived at the station.

The red line arrives every eight minutes.

The Blue Line arrives every 10 minutes.

Next they will arrive at the station at the same time, LCM of 8 minutes and 10 minutes.

Because both train will come at same multiple of 8 and 10.

Factor of 8 : 2 × 2 × 2

Factor of 10 : 2 × 5

LCM : 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40

Hence, After 40 minutes both train will arrive at station at same time.
