Answer: 144 times

Explanation:

In 30 seconds , it beats 36 times

Another 30 seconds - 36 times

Another 30 seconds - 36 times

Another 30 seconds - 36 times

Therefore , in two minutes , it will beat , 36 + 36 + 36 + 36 times

Therefore , it will beat 144 times .

Another Approach

30 Seconds - 36 times

1 second - 36/30 times

Since 120 seconds make 2 minutes , then

120 seconds - 36/ 30 x 120

= 144 times
