    Required time = LCM of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 seconds = 504 seconds

    Correct Option: C

    Required time = LCM of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 seconds = 504 seconds

  1. The greatest number of four digits which when divided by 3, 5, 7, 9 leave remainders 1, 3, 5, 7 respectively is :

    The difference between divisor and the corresponding remainder is equal.
    LCM of 3, 5, 7 and 9 = 315
    Largest 4-digit number = 9999

    ∴ Number divisible by 315 = 9999 – 234 = 9765

    Correct Option: A

    The difference between divisor and the corresponding remainder is equal.
    LCM of 3, 5, 7 and 9 = 315
    Largest 4-digit number = 9999

    ∴ Number divisible by 315 = 9999 – 234 = 9765
    Required number = 9765 – 2 = 9763

  1. Three bells ring simultaneously at 11a.m. They ring at regular intervals of 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes respectively. The time when all the three ring together next is

    LCM of 20, 30 and 40 minutes = 120 minutes
    Hence, the bells will toll together again after 2 hours i.e. at 1 p.m.

    Correct Option: B

    LCM of 20, 30 and 40 minutes = 120 minutes
    Hence, the bells will toll together again after 2 hours i.e. at 1 p.m.
    Required time = 1 p.m.

  1. Four bells ring at the intervals of 5, 6, 8 and 9 seconds. All the bells ring simultaneously at some time. They will again ring simultaneously after
