Now we need to find the time at which all these 3 ll converge which is nothing but the LCM = 260/3 sec

so, Ans = 260/3 - 3 = 251/3 sec.
Why u subtracted three.............

To add more to this, 3 has to be subtracted as in the Q it's asked when is the next time (after initial glowing together) they will again glow togther, i.e., starting time is asked whereas our LCM includes both on+off period.

well yes it will contain repetitions ...
infact the answer is 9 only ....
I listed out all the possibilities ...

Now solve this

There is a 15 sided regular polygon. How many 7 sided polygons can be formed by joining the vertices of the 15 sided polygon with no sides common between both of them
