Question:

Find out the least number, which, when divided by 12, 15, 32 and 45 leaves the remainders 5, 8, 25 and 38 respectively.

Options:

1440

1450

1433

1500

Correct Answer:

1433

Explanation:

LCM of 12, 15, 32, 45 = 1440

Note: when different remainders left then, 'the difference b/w (15 & 8), (24 & 17), (32 & 25) and (45 & 38) = 7 is to be subtracted from the LCM'

Therefore,

Least number = 1440 - 7 = 1433
