The traffic lights at three different road – crossing change after every 36 seconds,60 seconds and 72 seconds. If they change simultaneously at 8 a. m. after, whattime will they change again simultaneously?

Answer»

Answer:

8:06am

Step-by-step explanation:

36 => 2^2 × 3^2

60 => 2^2 × 3 × 5

72 => 2^3 × 3^2

therefore,

LCM = 2^3 × 3^2 × 5

=8 × 9 × 5

= 72 ×5

= 360 SECONDS

therefore,

360 seconds = 360/60 = 6 minutes

So, after 8:00 they will change at 8:06 simultaneously
