    Question

    What is the smallest possible number which when divided by 7, 9 and 11 leaves a remainder 2 in each case?

    A.

    600

    B.

    695

    C.

    750

    D.

    693

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    We are asked to find the smallest possible number which when divided by 7, 9, and 11 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case.
    Formula Used:
    LCM (Least Common Multiple) is used to find the smallest number divisible by multiple numbers.
    If a number leaves the same remainder 'r' when divided by a, b, c, then:
    Required number = LCM(a, b, c) + r
    Solution:
    Since 7, 9, and 11 are co-prime (no common factors),
    LCM = 7 × 9 × 11 = 693
    Required number = 693 + 2 = 695
