Solution

The correct option is C 29th June
To find when Rashmi will next go to the places together, we need to find the least common multiple,( L.C.M ) of 3,8 and 12.

Multiples of 3=3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,
Multiples of 8=8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,
Multiples of 12=12,24,36,48,60,72,84,96,108,120,

24 is the least common multiple of 3,8 and 12.

Hence, if she last attended all three classes on 5th of June, then she will next attend them 24 days after 5th of June.
i.e., on 29th of June.
