    They all arrive at the station at the same time after 120 minutes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For solving these types of question we use Least Common Multiples (L. C. M.).

    Since for getting a common time they will meet, we interested in a multiplier.

    Now, We will take L. C. M. of all the numbers:

    10 = 2 * 5

    8 = 2 * 2 * 2

    12 = 2 * 2 * 3

    ∴ L. C. M. = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120 {taking smallest common multiples)

    Thus, they all lines will meet after 120 minutes.
