Q:
Find the lowest 4-digit number which when divided by 3, 4 or 5 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case ?
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.
Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is 1022.
