Question 29
The country of Big Wally has a railway which runs in a loop 1080 km long. Three companies, A, B and C run trains on the track and plan to build stations. Company A will build three stations, equally spaced at 360 km intervals. Company B will build four stations at 270 km intervals and Company C will build five stations at 216 km intervals.
The government tells them to space their stations so that the longest distance between consecutive stations is as small as possible. What is this distance in kilometres?
