Question

Find the least number, which gives the same remainder 5, when divided by 6, 10, 15 and 24.

A.

120

B.

215

C.

125

D.

521

Correct option is C

Given:

We need to find the least number that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 6, 10, 15, and 24.

Solution:

Find the LCM of 6, 10, 15, and 24:

Prime factorization:

6 = 2 × 3

10 = 2 × 5

15 = 3 × 5

24 = 2³ × 3

LCM = 2³ × 3 × 5 = 8 × 3 × 5 = 120

The required number is LCM + remainder = 120 + 5 = 125

Therefore, the least number that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 6, 10, 15, and 24 is 125.
