    A.

    610

    B.

    600

    C.

    690

    D.

    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.
