D.

E.
None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
First watch:It shows correct time when it creates difference of 12 hours.
So, to create difference of 12 hour, time required = = 30 days
Second watch:
It shows correct time when it creates difference of 12 hours.
So, to create difference of 12 hour, time required = = 15 days
Now, LCM of 30 and 15 gives the time when they show correct time together. Thus, required time = 30 days, at same time.
