Six bells start ringing together and ring at intervals of 4, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 20 seconds respectively. How many times will they ring together in 60 minutes ?

31
15
16
30
Explanation:

LCM of 4, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 20 = 120

120 seconds = 2 minutes

Hence all the six bells will ring together in every 2 minutes

Hence, number of times they will ring together in 60 minutes $=1+\dfrac{60}{2}=31$
