Solution

The correct option is C 1st May
To find when Manshi will next attend the the classes together, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3, 5 and 6.

Multiples of 3 = 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, .....
Multiples of 5 = 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, ...
Multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, ...

30 is the least common multiple of 3, 5 and 6.

Hence, if she attended all three classes on 1st of April, then she will next attend them after 30 days.

i.e., 30 days after 1st of April = 1st of May
