      C 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      First time, 5 bells will toll together on = LCM (2,6,10,18 & 24sec) = 360 sec = 6 min
      In 36 minutes , they will toll together = 36 /6 = 6 times
      But it is also given that they commence tolling together at starting time so answer is 6 + 1 = 7.
