Solution

Given that, 3 bells ring at an interval of 4, 7 and 14 minutes.

To find the time interval at which they rang again we have to find L.C.M of three time intervals.
Let us find the L.C.M of 4, 7 and 14.
4=2×27=7×114=2×7
LCM(4,7,14)=2×2×7=28
Therefore, all the three balls will ring together again at 6:28am.
