The swimming pool in an exclusive club is a circular strip. A water flow is artificially maintained in the strip, along a clockwise direction, at a constant speed of 3km/h (kilometers/hour). One morning, Ayub and Rana start swimming at the same time from two diametrically opposite points on the strip. Ayub swims in a counterclockwise direction, while Rana swims in a clockwise direction. They swim at constant, but different, speeds. When they meet for the first time, Ayub has covered 60m (meters). They meet again after Rana has covered 180m from the first meeting point.
If Rana swims at the speed of 3 km/h in still water, how long does Ayub take to complete one round of the circular strip, if he swims in the clockwise direction?
