LCM of 2,4,6,8,10,12 is 120.
Sp bells will toll together after every 120 seconds = 2 min.
hence
in 30 min they will toll together (30/2)+1 = 16 times

LCM(2,4,6,8,10,12)=120 sec

After120sec all troll at single time
So total sec in 30 min = 60*30sec
Total no of toll =60*30/120=15times

As per the question all the bells started tolling at the same time.
Since they toll at an interval of 2,4,6,8,10 and 112 seconds, the will toll together again after each 120 seconds(LCM of 2,4,6,8,10,12 is 120).
Or we can say that they toll together after each 2 minutes.
therefore in 30 minutes they will toll for (30/2) times, that is 15 times.
But as they started at the same time, hence they will toll for (15+1)times, that is 16 times in 30 minutes...
