Answer:

11:18

Step-by-step explanation:

the lowest common multiple [meaning the nearest possible time these clocks will be ringing at the same time] of 42 and 56 is 168

(56 x 3 = 168 ; 42 x 4 = 168)

So, in 168 minutes, the clock will ring together again.

Now, we need to add 168 minutes to 08:30

(168 can be made up of 2 hours and 48 minutes [120 + 48 = 168])

08:30 + 2 hours = 10:30

10:30 + 48 minutes = 11:18

So, at 11:18, these clocks will ring together again
