Two bells ring after every (12) minutes and (18) minutes respectively. After how many minutes will they ring together again?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (36)
Step 1: The time when both bells ring together is the LCM of the two times. Step 2: (12=2^2\times3) and (18=2\times3^2), so LCM (=2^2\times3^2=36). Step 3: For repeated time events, use LCM.
