50 bells B1,B2,B3,.......B50 start ringing together. The bells ring after every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.....50 sec respectively. Answer the following questions.
1. Bells B1,B2.....B7 ring together after how many seconds ?

The bells will ring together whenever they overlap. In other words, the bells will ring together when time equals the LCM of all the number of bells.
LCM of 1, 2, 3, ...... 7 is 420. SO the bells will ring togther after a gap of 420 seconds.
