Solution

To find when Manshi will next attend the the classes together, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6, 12 and 18.

Multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, ...
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, ...
Multiples of 18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, ...

36 is the least common multiple of 6, 12 and 18.

Hence, if she attended all three classes on 1st of April, then she will next attend them after 36 days.

i.e., 36 days after 1st of April = 7th of May
