Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10 Given : A number when divided by 9,10 and 15 the remainder in each case be 3 What least number should be subtracted from 2983 to get desired result Concept used : Take the LCM of given numbers to get required value and perform accordingly Calculation : LCM of 9,10 and 15 = 90 Now, when 2983 divided by 90 the remainder is 13 ⇒ 13 should be subtracted from 2983 to make it divisible by all three numbers i.e. 9,10 and 15 ⇒ Desired number = 2983 - 13 ⇒ 2970 but there should be remainder of 3 in each case ⇒ 3 must be added to 2970 ⇒ 2973 ⇒ 10 is the least number that should be subtracted from 2983 to get desired result |
