      Question

      Find a number between 100 and 200 that leaves a

      remainder of 3 when divided by 8, 12, or 15. Once identified, determine the remainder when this number is divided by 17.
      A 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number be n+3.
      This means that n is completely divisible by 8, 12, 15 or n is a multiple of LCM of 8, 12 and 15.
      => n is a multiple of 120
      Since the number lies between 100 and 200, the number must be 123.
      123 = 17x7 + 4
      Hence remainder = 4
