An electronic device makes a beep after every 60 seconds. Another device makes a beep after every 62 seconds. They beeped together at 10 a.m. At what time will they beep together at the earliest? |

Answer» Given: Beep duration of first device = 60 seconds Beep duration of second device = 62 seconds To find the interval of beeping together, we need to find the LCM of 60 and 62 first. 60 = 2 x 2 × 3 × 5 62 = 2 × 31 LCM = 2 x 2 × 3 × 5 × 31 = 1860 seconds Convert time into mins: 160 sec = 1860/60 mins = 31 min Electronic devices will beep after every 31 minutes. Hence, both devices will beep together again at 10:31 a.m. again. |
