Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 12 p.m.

Given:

Three bells ring at regular intervals of 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 40 minutes respectively.

Calculations:

The time after which they will ring together = L.C.M of their ringing time

L.C.M (20, 30 and 40)

⇒ 120 minutes

⇒ 2 hr

They ring simultaneously at 10 a.m.

∴ They will ring simultaneously 2 hrs after 10 a.m i.e. at 12 p.m.
