      Question

      The least number 'Y' which when divided by 15, 20, and 45

      leaves 2 as the remainder in each case. Find the value of ('3Y' - 5).
      A 429 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 567 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 375 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 541 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      As we know the least number which is divisible by 'a', 'b', and 'c' is the LCM of 'a', 'b', and 'c'.

      So, the number which is completely divisible by 15, 20, and 45 = LCM of

      15, 20, and 45 = 180

      So, 'Y' = 180 + 2 = 182

      Now,

      (3Y - 5) = (182 Γ— 3) - 5 = 546 - 5 = 541
