    The greatest number of four digits which when divided by

    7, 9, 11 leave remainders 5, 7, 9 respectively is:
    A 9655 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9983 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9897 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The difference between divisor and the corresponding remainder is equal (i.e 2). LCM of 7, 9 and 11 = 693 Largest 4-digit number = 9999 After dividing 9999 by 693 we will get the remainder as 297. Therefore, the number divisible by 693 = 9999 – 297 = 9702 If 2 is subtracted from the number 9702 the resulting number will follow the condition in the question and that number is 9700.
