Question


The least multiple of 7 which leaves a remainder of 4, when divided by 6, 9, 15 and 18 is ___.


Options:
A .   74
B .   94
C .   184
D .   364
Answer: Option D
:
D

We first find the L.C.M of 6, 9, 15 and 18, which is 90.


For getting remainder 4,  we need to add 4 to it.
i.e., 90 +4 = 94.


But, 94 is not divisible by 7. So, we proceed with the next multiple of 90, which is 180.


Adding 4 to 180, we get 184, which is also not divisible by 7.


The next multiple of 90 is 270.


Adding 4 to 270, we get 274, again not divisible by 7.


The next multiple of 90 is 360.


Adding 4 to it gives us 364, divisible by 7( as 3647=52).


Hence, the answer is 364.
