    Question

    What is the smallest number which, when divided by 15, 17 and 19, leaves remainder 4, 6 and 8, respectively?

    A.

    4845

    B.

    4548

    C.

    4832

    D.

    4834

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Given numbers are 15, 17 and 19

    Formula Used:

    LCM of prime numbers = Product of numbers

    Solution:

    Difference between divisor and remainder:

    15 - 4 = 11

    17 - 6 = 11

    19 - 8 = 11

    Here the difference between divisors and remainders is same in all three cases.

    Now LCM of 15, 17 and 19 is 15×17×19=484515 \times 17 \times 19 = 4845​​

    The smallest number giving remainder 4,6 and 8 is 4845 - 11 = 4834
