Ravi and Sonia donot take the same amount of time.

Ravi takes lesser time than Sonia for completing 1 round of the circular path. 

As they are going in the same direction, they meet again at the same time when Ravi will have completed 1 round of that circular path with respect to Sonia.
i.e When  Sonia completes one round then Ravi completes 1.5 rounds.  

The minimum time when Sonia and Ravi meet again will be the LCM Of 18  minutes and 12 minutes 
Now 
18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 2 x 32 
And, 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 = 22 x 3

LCM of 12 and 18 = product of factors raised to highest exponent = 
22 x 32 = 36  

Therefore, Ravi and Sonia will meet together at the starting point after 36 minutes.
