    Question

    Find the smallest number which, when divided by 12,18 and 24 , leaves a remainder of 5 in each case.

    A.

    101

    B.

    65

    C.

    77

    D.

    125

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Divisors = 12, 18, 24
    Remainder in each case = 5
    Formula Used:
    Required number = LCM(a, b, c) + Remainder
    Solution:
    First, find the LCM of 12, 18, and 24.
    Prime factorization:
    12 = 22×32^2 × 3​​
    18 = 2×322 × 3^2​​
    24 = 23×3 2^3 × 3​​
    LCM = 23×322^3 × 3^2​ = 8 × 9 = 72
    The required smallest number is LCM + Remainder.
    Required number = 72 + 5 = 77
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (c)
