2. Three bells P, Q and R ring at intervals of 40, 48and 60 minutes respectively. If they ring together at 6.15 a.m. when will they ring together again? (4 mks)

They will ring again together at 10:15am. Because the common factor for 40, 48 and 60 is 240, which means 240 minutes, that equals to 4 hours. Hence 4 hours after 6.15am is 10.15am.

Hope this helps.
