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 35Correct 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

LCM of p and q = 161
∴ pq = 23 × 7
∴ p = 23; q = 7
∴ 3q – p = 3 × 7 – 23Correct Option: A
LCM of p and q = 161
∴ pq = 23 × 7
∴ p = 23; q = 7
∴ 3q – p = 3 × 7 – 23
The value of (3q – p) = 21 – 23 = – 2
