    B 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    LCM of 12, 20, 28 and 42 = 840

    Since, 840 = (2 Γ— 2 Γ— 2 Γ— 3 Γ— 5 Γ— 7)

    To convert this into a perfect square, we multiply by (3 Γ— 5 Γ— 7) = 105

    So, required number = 840 Γ— 105 = 88200

    88200 Γ· 97 = 909 Γ— 97 + 27

    So, desired remainder = 27
