Find the LCM of the three bells that is 20,40,30.The answer you get is 120 minutes which is equal to 2 hours. Then add the LCM(2 hours) to 10.00am which gives the answer as 12.00 at noon.
Take the answer (12.00) and add 4 hours which will give the answer of the third time they will ring together. You get 16.00 which is equal to 4.00pm
