Given:

Beep duration of first device = 60 seconds

Beep duration of second device = 62 seconds

To find the interval of beeping together, we need to find the LCM of 60 and 62 first.

60 = 2 x 2 × 3 × 5

62 = 2 × 31

LCM = 2 x 2 × 3 × 5 × 31 = 1860 seconds

Convert time into mins:

160 sec = 1860/60 mins = 31 min

Electronic devices will beep after every 31 minutes.

Hence, both devices will beep together again at 10:31 a.m. again.
