  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    LCM of 25, 50 and 75 = 150
    On dividing 43582 by 150, remainder = 82

    ∴ Required number = 43582 + (150 – 82)

    Correct Option: B

    LCM of 25, 50 and 75 = 150
    On dividing 43582 by 150, remainder = 82

    ∴ Required number = 43582 + (150 – 82) = 43650

    We find LCM of 20, 28, 32 and 35

    ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 × 8 = 1120
    ∴ Required number = 5834 – LCM of 20, 28, 32 and 35

    Correct Option: B

    We find LCM of 20, 28, 32 and 35

    ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 × 8 = 1120
    ∴ Required number = 5834 – LCM of 20, 28, 32 and 35
    ∴ Required number = 5834 – 1120 = 4714


  1. The smallest number, which when increased by 5 is divisible by each of 24,32, 36 and 564, is

    Required number = (LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54) – 5
    Now,LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54

    LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 4 = 864

    Correct Option: B

    Required number = (LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54) – 5
    Now,LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54

    LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 4 = 864
    ∴ Required number = 864 – 5 = 859

    We know that Greatest n digit number which when divided by three numbers p,q,r leaves no remainder will be Required Number = (n – digit greatest number) – R , R is the remainder obtained on dividing greatest n digit number by L.C.M of p.q,r.
    LCM of 10, 15 and 20 = 60
    Largest 4-digit number = 9999

    Correct Option: B

    We know that Greatest n digit number which when divided by three numbers p,q,r leaves no remainder will be Required Number = (n – digit greatest number) – R , R is the remainder obtained on dividing greatest n digit number by L.C.M of p.q,r.
    LCM of 10, 15 and 20 = 60
    Largest 4-digit number = 9999

    ∴ Required number = 9999 – remainder = 9999 – 39 = 9960
