Answer 2

Answer:
(A) 12:50 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the above question, we are asked about that COMMON TIME in which both the bells rings together.
So, in order to find that common time, we will figure out the L.C.M. of 20 and 35.
LCM (20, 35) = 140 minutes, i.e. 2hours and 20 minutes
Now, time after a duration of 2hr and 20 min from 10:30 am =
10:30 + 2:20 = 12:50 pm
