1 hour and 45 minutes
= 105 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes
LCM of 30 minutes, 60 minutes,
90 minutes and 105 minutes

LCM = 3 × 5 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
= 1260 minutes

1260 minutes = $\frac{1260}{60}$ = 21 hours

The bell will again ring simultaneously
after 21 hours.
\ Time will be
= 12 noon + 21 hours
= 9 a.m.
