Correct option is B
Given:
Drum leaves 4 liters after using any jar (6, 9, 15, 18 liters).
Drum capacity is a multiple of 7.
Find the minimum possible capacity.
Solution:
LCM of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90
According to the question
Volume of drum = (90n + 4) liters
Where, n is any natural number and (90n + 4) is divisible by 7
When
n = 1, 90n + 4 = 94, which is not divisible by 7
n = 2, 90n + 4 = 184, which is not divisible by 7
n = 3, 90n + 4 = 274, which is not divisible by 7
n = 4, 90n + 4 = 364, which is divisible by 7
∴ The least possible volume of the drum is 364 liters.
Alternate Solution:
As per the given condition, the least possible volume must be a multiple of 7.
Among the given options, 364 is the only number that is divisible by 7.
∴ The minimum possible volume of the drum is 364 liters.
