What least number should be subtracted from 2983 so that the resulting number when divided by 9, 10 and 15, the remainder in each case is 3?1. 102. 133. 124. 9

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
