Smallest number of five digits is 10000. Required number must be divisible by L.C.M. of 16,24,36,54 i.e 432, On dividing 10000 by 432,we get 64 as remainder. Required number = 10000 +( 432 – 64 ) = 10368.
Convert first all terms into cm.i.e. 1575 cm, 1125cm, 765cm.Now whenever we need to calculate this type of question, we need to find the HCF.HCF of above terms is 255.
L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120. So, the bells will toll together after every 120 seconds(2 minutes). In 30 minutes, they will toll together 30 + 1 = 16 times. 2
