Solution

Changing of traffic light at three different road=1st road=48 seconds
2nd road=72 seconds
3rd road=108 seconds
LCM of 48, 72 & 108=2*2*3*2*2*3*3
=432 seconds
432=432/60 minutes
=7 minutes 12 seconds.
They will change simultaneously at 7:00 a.m + 7 minutes 12 seconds= 07:07:12 A.M.

They will change simultaneously at 07:07:12 A.M.
