Total time for the three bongs are 3 seconds. between two bongs there is a time interval and thus for striking three times the clock has to complete two time intervals plus the bong. Hence time interval for each 'dash' is 3/2 = 1.5 seconds. Now to strike seven times the clock has to do Bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong-bong - and there are 6 time intervals or dashes inbetween. we have earlier seen the time taken for one time interval is 1.5 seconds and hence the time for 6 time intervals is = 6*1.5 = 9 seconds. So the time taken for the clock to strike seven is 9 seconds. read less

Hi, I have registered in UrbanPro days back. I want to teach Economics to class XI and XII and above students (CBSE syllabus preferred). Students can ask me 5 Questions daily on economics and I will be answering their Questions in between 7 PM to 9PM on daily basis. My problem is I am getting a number of such questions which are not related to economics. I want UrbanPro to send me only those questions which are related to economics. I would also like to know how students will contact me? Initially, I am not charging any money. Can anyone please help me in this regard?
