  1. The least number which when divided by 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case is :
    1. 46
    2. 48
    3. 50
    4. 56
Correct Option: C

Here , Remainder ( r ) = 2
As we know that When a number is divided by a, b , c or d leaving same remainder ‘r’ in each case then that number must be k + r where k is LCM of a, b , c and d.
So , L.C.M. of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 = k = 48
∴ Required number = k + r = 48 + 2 = 50
