Gardening group meets once in 2 days, electronics group meets once in 3 days, chess group meets once in 4 days, yachting group meets once in 5 days and the photography group meets once in 6 days.
If they meet on the same day at one time, then the next time they will meet on same day again will be the LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 which is equal to 60.
Hence, within 180 days all the five groups will meet on the same day = 180/60 = 3 times.
