Correct Answer: 20


Solution : The bell rings at 8:00 a.m., 8:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:00 p.m., and 1:30 p.m.

It rings thrice at 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 1:30 p.m. and rings once at the other times.

So, the number of times the bell rings = 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 20

Hence, fourth option is correct.
