Solution

The correct option is C 2520 seconds
The LCM of 56, 72, 120 will give us the time at which they chime again together.

$\begin{matrix} 2 & 56, 72, 120 2 & 28, 36, 60 2 & 14, 18, 30 3 & 7, 9, 15 3 & 7, 3, 5 7 & 7, 1, 5 5 & 1, 1, 5 1, 1, 1 \end{matrix}$
LCM (56, 72, 120) = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 7 \times 5$ = 2520 seconds

Hence, the bells will chime together at 2520 seconds.
