easiest way is find L.C.M for 24,12,36 which is 72. So they ring simultaneously after 72sec's. 8:20:00+72 secs = 8:21:12.
(72 secs = 1 min 12 secs)

take the lcm of 24,12,36 seconds
that is 72.
so they are ringing at 8.20
after that 1st one ring at 8.20.24sec 1st time 2nd time 8.20.48 3rd time 8.21.12
2nd one at 8.20.12,...8.20.48,8.21,8.21.12
3rd one 8.20.36,8.21.12
so 3 clocks ring simultanously at 8.21.12seconds......
