B) 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A) After how many second would all three things happen together again?

Solution:

His clock ticked every 5 seconds , a tap was dripping every 7 seconds and     his pet dog snored every 12 seconds. It all happens simultaneously = 5*7*12=420 seconds

B) How many times would all three things happen together again between    midnight and one o'clock

Since all these events happen together after every 420 sec = 7 mins and there are 60 mins between midnight and 1 o'çlock , thus 60/7 = 8 times
