Solution

The correct options are A : 504

In order to find the time at which all the bells ring together, we should find out the LCM of 6,7,8 and 9.

The LCM of the given numbers can be found as follows:

26,7,8,933,7,4,91,7,4,3

LCM =2×3×1×7×4×3=504

Therefore, the four bells ring together after 504 seconds and at multiples of 504 seconds.
