Question

four bells toll at intervals of 4,7,12,and 84sec.the bells toll together at 5.00.when will they again toll together?how many times will they do it in 28 min

Answer 1

They will toll together for a 'common multiple' of (4,7,12,84), which is the l.c.m of these numbers.

4== 2^2

7 == 7

12 = 2^2 * 3

84 = 12 * 7 = 2^2 * 3 * 7

l.c.m(4,7,12,84) = 2^2 * 3 * 7 = 84 s

84 s = 1 min 24 sec

Hence they will toll together 84 seconds after 5 o'clock or 5:01:24 hrs ( 1 min 24 sec past 5 o'clock)

28 mins = 28*60 = 1680 sec

1680/84 Times

=20 Times
