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
Make the number of decimal places in all the given numbers the same i.e., 0.12, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.54LCM of 12, 15, 20 and 542|12 15 20 542|6 15 10 273|3 15 5 275|1 5 5 9 1 1 1 9LCM=22×3×5×9=540 LCM=540/10 =5.4
Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;First number = 551/29 = 19; Third number = 1073/29 = 37.Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
