Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1712 The least possible number which when divided by 11, 12 and 13 leaves the remainder 7, 8 and 9 Concept used: Basic concept of number system and LCM In this type of question when a, b and c divided and leaves remainder d, e and f If the difference of terms is same Let (a - d) = (b - e) = (c - f) = K ∴ Required number is LCM of (a, b, c) -K Calculation: By using the identity ⇒ (11 - 7) = (12 - 8) = (13 - 9) = 4 Here the difference between the division and the respective remainder is same ∴ Required number = LCM of (11, 12 and 13) – 4 = 1712 Hence, option (2) is correct |
