A.

40

B.

36

C.

44

D.

48

Correct option is B

Given,

The given numbers are 14, 15, 16, 18, and 24.

Concept:

LCM = Least common multiple

Largest 6 digit number is 999999

Solution:

14 = 2 × 7

15 = 3 × 5

16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

=> LCM of 14, 15, 16, 18 and 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 5040

When we divide 999999 by 5040 we get as remainder 2079

=> Required number = 999999 – 2079 = 997920

∴ Sum of digit of 997920 = 9 + 9 + 7 + 9 + 2 + 0 = 36
