Answer:

Explanation:

if one blinks every 10 seconds it means that it blinks 6 times in one minute

60/10=6

the other one blinks every 6 seconds

60/6=10 blinks ten times

first one blinks: 10,20,30,40,50,60

second one blinks:6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60

is like finding GCM

common number are 30 and 60

hence- twice
