Q:

Find the lowest 4-digit number which when divided by 3, 4 or 5 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case ?

A) 1020 B) 1040
C) 1060 D) 1022
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1022

Explanation:

Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is 60.
Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.
