please tell me how to solve these kind of problems.....it would be of great help if someone can tell all the fundas associated with problems of these kind(circular motion)

Let distance covered in one revolution be k.i.e circumference of circle.
Assume speed of the faster be x and taht of slower car be y
35x + 35y = k
210x – 210y = k
so,60x = k.
So, the faster car will take 60 seconds to complete round.
