Three friends A B and C decide to run around a circular track They start at the same time and run in...........

Explanation:

Let track length be equal to T. When A completes a lap, let us assume B has run a distance of (t - d).
At this time, C should have run a distance of (t - 2d).
After 3 laps C is in the same position as B was at the end of one lap. So, the position after 3t - 6d should be the same as t - d.
Or, C should be at a distance of d from the end of the lap. C will have completed less than 3 laps (as he is slower than A), so he could have traveled a distance of either t - d or 2t - d.
=> 3t - 6d = t - d
=> 2t = 5d
=> d = 0.4t
The distances covered by A, B and C when A completes a lap will be t, 0.6t and 0.2t respectively. Or, the ratio of their speeds is 5 : 3 : 1.
In the second scenario, 3t - 6d = 2t - d => t = 5d => d = 0.2t.
The distances covered by A, B and C when A completes a lap will be t, 0.8t and 0.6t respectively. Or, the ratio of their speeds is 5 : 4 : 3.
The ratio of the speeds of A, B and C is either 5 : 3 : 1 or 5 : 4 : 3.
