      9 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case.
      A 74 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 86 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 92 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      If a number N leaves remainder 2 on division by 6, 8, 9, then N βˆ’ 2 is divisible by 6, 8 and 9. So N βˆ’ 2 = LCM(6, 8, 9) 6 = 2 Γ— 3 8 = 2Β³ 9 = 3Β² LCM = 2Β³ Γ— 3Β² = 8 Γ— 9 = 72 So N βˆ’ 2 = 72 β‡’ N = 72 + 2 = 74
