Correct Answer: 17
Solution : Time after which the 5 bells will toll together = LCM of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 = 5 × 5 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 300 seconds = 5 minutes Total time = 1 hour 20 minutes = 60 + 20 = 80 minutes Number of times the bells toll together = $\frac{80}{5}$ + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17 Hence, the correct answer is 17.
