Correct Answer: 5
Solution : Six bells tolling at 7:59 am Time duration = 8:16 am - 7:59 am = 17 minutes All five bells toll together after the interval = Least Common Multiple of 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 = 180 sec = 3 minutes Now, ⇒ Number of tolls = $\frac{\text{Total Time Duration}}{\text{Time interval of tolling together}}$ = $\frac{17}{3}$ = 5.66 (5 times) Hence, the correct answer is 5.
