    Question

    Five bells commence tolling together and toll at

    intervals of 2, 4, 9, 12 and 15 seconds respectively. In 45 minutes, how many times do they toll together?
    A 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    LCM of the time intervals will be 2,4,9,12, and 15 will be 180. 1 min = 60 seconds. 180 seconds = 180/60 = 3 minutes. Therefore number of times they all toll together = (45/3)  + 1 = 16 times.
