Question:

Five bells ring at an interval of 3 sec, 6 sec, 9 sec, 12 sec and 15 sec respectively. How many times they will ring together in 36 min ?

Options:

11

12

13

10

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

LCM of 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 = 180

It means all the bells will ring together after every 180 sec

In 36 min they will ring = \(\frac{36 × 60}{180}\) = 12 times
