    Question

    Let x be the greatest number which, when dividing 31, 61 and 91, leaves the same remainder. The LCM of x and 48 is:

    A.

    360

    B.

    178

    C.

    240

    D.

    420

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    x leaves same remainder when dividing 31, 61, 91
    Formula Used:
    If a number leaves same remainder, it divides the differences.
    LCM(a, b) = (a × b) ÷ HCF(a, b)
    Solution:
    Differences:
    61 − 31 = 30
    91 − 61 = 30
    91 − 31 = 60
    Greatest divisor of 30 and 60
    → x = HCF(30, 60) = 30
    LCM(x, 48) = LCM(30, 48)
    HCF(30, 48) = 6
    LCM = (30 × 48) ÷ 6 = 240
