L.C.M. of 60 and 62 seconds is 1860 seconds1860/60 = 31 minutesThey will beep together at 10:31 a.m.Sometimes questions on red lights blinking comes in exam, which can be solved in the same way
The least number which when divided by 4,5,6,8 and 10 is the LCM of these numbers. But each time to get 3 as remainder, we have to add the remainder 3 to the obtained LCM.LCM of (4, 5, 6, 8, 10)+ 3=120+3=123
