Five bells begin to toll together and toll respectively at intervals of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 seconds. How many times they will toll together in one hour , excluding the one at the start?
Correct Answer: 7
Explanation:
L.C.M of 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 is 504
So, the bells will toll together after 504 sec.
In hour, they will toll together
= (60 x 60) / 504 times
= 7 times
