Suppose length of short man's step is 2m, then tall man's step is 3 meter (as per given condition)
So, short man cover distance of 12m in 6 steps and end it with Right Step & tall man cover same distance in 4 steps & end it with same with Right,
Now if they start again the situation will remain the same as before
There fore, They will never step out with right foot together.(Ans.)
