Solution

Step 1: Find the LCM of 3 and 5

To find how many times they blink together in half an hour, we take the LCM of 3 and 5

LCM(3,5)=15 sec

Step 2: Find the number of times they blink together in half an hour

12hour=30min=36002sec=1800sec

Number of times they blink together in 30 mins=180015=120

Hence, both the lights blink 120 times in the given period of half an hour.
