    Question

    The smallest number which when decreased by 3 is divisible by 15, 25 and 55, is:

    A.

    828

    B.

    825

    C.

    831

    D.

    822

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    We are to find the smallest number which when decreased by 3 is divisible by 15, 25, and 55.

    Solution:

    Prime factorizations:

    15 = 3 × 5

    25 = 52

    55 = 5 × 11

    LCM(15, 25, 55) = 3 × 52 × 111 = 3 × 25 × 11 = 825

    Thus, the smallest number is 825 + 3 = 828
