    In a school, the duration of a period in junior section is 40 minutes and in senior section is 60 minutes. If the first bell for each section rings at 9 a.m., when will the two bells ring together again?

    A)  10:45 a.m.    

    B)         10:15 a.m.

    C)  12:00 p.m.    

    D)         11:00 a.m.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The L.C.M. of 40 and 60 will give the number of minutes after which the two bells will ring together again. Now, \[\therefore \] \[\text{224}=\text{12}0\times \text{1}+\text{1}0\text{4}\] \[\text{12}0=\text{1}0\text{4}\times \text{1}+\text{16}\]L. C. M. (40, 60) \[\text{1}0\text{4}=\text{16}\times \text{6}+\text{8}\] Hence, the two bells ring together again after 120 minutes i.e., after 2 hours i.e., at 11: 00 a.m.
