B. 8:27:12 hrs

C. 7:12:34 hrs

D. 9:12:30 hrs

Correct Answer :

B. 8:27:12 hrs


       Interval of change = (L.C.M of 48,72,108)sec.=432sec.


       So, the lights will again change simultaneously after every 432 seconds =7 min.12sec


       Hence , next simultaneous change will take place at 8:27:12 hrs.
