Shailendra and Ashu are running in opposite direction on a circular track of 117 m

length, with shailendra in the clockwise direction.They start from point O with the
speed of 5 m/s and 8 m/s respectively. Every time they meet they interchange their
direction andspeed. If they continue doing so, find out where they will meet for the
13th time

Shailendra travels 5/13 in clockwise and 8/13 anticlockwise till 2 meetings => Effectively, he
travelled 5/13-8/13 = -3/13 (clockwise) from his source i.e. O.
Ashu travels 8/13 anticlockwise and 5/13 in clockwise till 2 meetings => Effectively, he travelled
8/13-5/13 = 3/13 (anticlockwise) from his source i.e. O.
After 12 meetings, they must be at:

-3/13*6 = -18/13 => -5/13 from O for Shailendra(clockwise).


5/13*6 = 18/13 =>5/13 from O for Ashu (anticlockwise).
For the 13th time, Shailendra travels 5/13 clockwise and reaches point O.
Amit travels 8/13 anticlockwise and reaches point O.
