  1. The least number, which when divided by 18, 27 and 36 separately leaves remainders 5,14, and 23 respectively, is
    1. 95
    2. 113
    3. 149
    4. 77
Correct Option: A

The difference between the divisor and the corresponding remainder is same in each case
ie. 18 – 5 = 13, 27 – 14 = 13, 36 – 23 = 13
∴ Required number = (LCM of 18, 27, and 36 ) – 13
LCM of 18, 27, and 36 = 108
Hence , Required number = 108 – 13 = 95
