Question

The greatest number of four digits which when divided by 10, 12, 14 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 5). LCM of 10, 12 and 14 = 420 Largest 4-digit number = 9999 After dividing 9999 by 420 we will get the remainder as 339. Therefore, the number divisible by 420 = 9999 – 339 = 9660 If 5 is subtracted from the number 9660 the resulting number will follow the condition in the question and that number is 9655.
