1. Six bells commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 seconds respectively. In 30 minutes, how many times do they toll together?

  • A. 4
  • B. 4
  • C. 4
  • D. 4

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The L.C.M of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 = 120

So, after 120 seconds later they toll together.

Now,

At 120 seconds toll it 1 times

At 1 seconds toll it 1/120 times

At 1800 seconds toll it ( 1800/120) = 15 times
