Why is 1 being added? How can at 0 sec they toll together? So why adding 1? When 1st toll is after 2 min then at 30th min they will toll 15th time. Thats it.

@Kyra.
Here, it is asked in 30 minutes how many times 6 ring balls roll together.
6 ring balls roll every 2 minutes
So, we divided for 30 minutes how many 2-interval exist.
