Hence the lights will change simultaneously after 432 seconds = 7 minutes and 12 seconds after 7 am. Hence the lights will change simultaneously at 07:07:12 am(HH:MM: SS).

If the traffic lights change simultaneously at 7 a.m, then they will change simultaneously again after the LCM of the duration i.e. 48 s, 72 s and 108 s.
LCM of these durations by prime factorisation
- 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 2⁴ × 3
- 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2³ × 3²
- 108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2² × 3³
LCM of 48, 72 and 108 is 2⁴ × 3³ = 432 seconds.
Hence, They will change after 432 seconds i.e. 7 minutes 12 seconds.
The traffic lights will change after:
- 7 am + 7 minutes 12 seconds
- 07 : 07 : 12 am
