Detailed Solution

Given Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field.
Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same.
Firstly, finding the prime factors of 12 and 18,
12=2×2×3 18=2×3×3  
Formula for finding L.C.M is,
= Product common factors × product of remaining prime factors
=(2×3)×(2×3)  
= 36
Therefore, they will meet again after 36 minutes.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
