Answer 124
Four bells are ringing at intervals of 12,16,24 and 36 minutes. They start
ringing simultaneously at 12 o'clock. Find when will they again ring
together? What is the LCM of the intervals of the ringing of the bells?

Four bells ring at intervals of 6,7,8 and 9 seconds respectively. All the
bells ring together after ....... seconds
Ans 504 seconds

Three bells, toll at intervals of 36 sec, 40 sec and 48 sec respectively.


They start ringing together at particular time. They next toll together
after how many minutes.
Answer 12

Six bells start tolling together and they toll at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,
12 sec respectively, find
(i) after how much time will all six of them toll together?
(ii) how many times will they toll together in 30 min?
The time after which all six bells will toll together must be multiple of 2,
4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Therefore required time = LCM of time intervals
= LCM (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) = 120 sec
Therefore after 120 s all six bells will toll together
After each 120 s i.e. 2 min all bell are tolling together
Therefore in 30 min they will toll together (230+1)=16 times
1 is added as all the bells are tolling together at he start also i.e. 0th
second
