Solution

A red light flashes three times per minute and a green light flashes five times in 2 min at regular intervals. So red light fashes after every 1/3 min and green light flashes every 2/5 min. LCM of both the fractions is 2 min .

Hence they flash together after every 2 min. So in an hour they flash together 30 times .
