A.
3002
B.
3013
AnswerC.
3024
D.
3036
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Here (18 - 7) = 11, (21 - 10) = 11, (24 - 13) = 11LCM of 18, 21 and 24 is 504
Let the required number be 504k - 11
Least value of k for which (504k - 11) is divisible by 23 is k = 6
∴ Required number
= 504 × 6 - 11
= 3024 - 11
= 3013
