I have some different answer as per the details:
Let the total circumference x
Distance travelled by Tortoise with velocity V1 when
hare has not started x/8----(1)
Distance covered by Hare (with velocity V2) when they meet x/6
Time taken by Hare x/6.V2-------------------(2)

Distance covered by Tortoise in time x/6.V2 V1 * (x/6.V2 ) V1/V2 * (x/6)

Total distance travelled when they meet x/8 + x/6 + V1/V2 * (x/6) x
so 1/8 + 1/6 + V1/6V2 1

Sovling we get V1/V2 17/4


So ans is approximately 4.
