You have to find the least common multiple of 4 minutes and 10 minutes.
The first step to find the least commom multiple is to find the prime factors of the numbers:
4 = 2*2 = 2^2
10 = 2 * 5.
The next step is multiply the common and non common factors each raised to the greatest exponent with which they appear: (2^2) * 5 = 4 * 5 = 20.
So, the least common multiple is 20, which tells that it has to pass 20 minutes for that both trollies arrive together at the main building again.
Answer: 20 minutes
