562

Correct option is B

Given:

The smallest natural number which is divisible by 12, 8, 75 and 15 is.

Concept Used:

The LCM of two or more integers is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of all the given integers.

Solution:

12 = 22×312^2 \times 3^1​​
8 = 232^3​​
75 =31×52 3^1 \times 5^2​​
15 =31×51 3^1 \times 5^1​​
Highest powers:
(23 2^3 ​) (from 8)
(31 3^1​) (from 12, 75, 15)
(52 5^2 ​) (from 75)
LCM=23×31×52\text{LCM} = 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^2​​
LCM=8×3×25=600\text{LCM} = 8 \times 3 \times 25 = 600
Option (B) is right.
