  1. Three electronic devices make a beep after every 48 seconds, 72 seconds and 108 seconds respectively. They beeped together at 10 a.m. The time when they will next make a beep together at the earliest is
    1. 10 : 07 : 12 hours
    2. 10 : 07 : 24 hours
    3. 10 : 07 : 36 hours
    4. 10 : 07 : 48 hours
Correct Option: A

Required time = LCM of 48, 72 and 108 seconds

∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 432 seconds = 7 minutes 12 second
∴ Required time = 10 a.m. + 7 minutes 12 second = 10 : 07 : 12 hours
