A digital watch X beeps every 30 seconds while watch Y beeps every 32 seconds. They beeped together at 10 AM.
The immediate next time that they will beep together is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\)
The immediate next time that they will beep together is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\)
Show Hint
- 10:08 AM
- 10:42 AM
- 11:00 AM
- 10:00 PM
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
To find the next time both watches beep together, we need to calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of the two times, 30 seconds and 32 seconds. The LCM of 30 and 32 is calculated as follows: \[ \text{LCM}(30, 32) = 2^5 \times 3 \times 5 = 480 \text{ seconds}. \] This means that both watches will beep together again after 480 seconds. Now, converting 480 seconds to minutes: \[ 480 \text{ seconds} = 8 \text{ minutes}. \] So, they will beep together again 8 minutes after 10:00 AM, which is 10:08 AM.
Final Answer: (A)

P and Q play chess frequently against each other. Of these matches, P has won 80% of the matches, drawn 15% of the matches, and lost 5% of the matches.
If they play 3 more matches, what is the probability of P winning exactly 2 of these 3 matches?Identify the option that has the most appropriate sequence such that a coherent paragraph is formed:
Statement:
P. At once, without thinking much, people rushed towards the city in hordes with the sole aim of grabbing as much gold as they could.
Q. However, little did they realize about the impending hardships they would have to face on their way to the city: miles of mud, unfriendly forests, hungry beasts, and inimical local lords—all of which would reduce their chances of getting gold to almost zero.
R. All of them thought that easily they could lay their hands on gold and become wealthy overnight.
S. About a hundred years ago, the news that gold had been discovered in Kolar spread like wildfire and the whole State was in raptures.
