    B 1,164 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1,244 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1,324 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Prime factorization of 9 = 3²
    Prime factorization of 12 = 2² × 3
    Prime factorization of 15 = 3 × 5 LCM of (9, 12, and 15) = 2² × 3² × 5 = 180 Least 4-digit number divisible by 180 = 1,080 So, required number = 1080 + 4 = 1,084 Hence, option A.
