Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 10800.

Factors:

⇒ 9 = 3 × 3

⇒ 12 = 2 × 2 × 3

⇒ 15 = 3 × 5

⇒ 25 = 5 × 5

⇒ 27 = 3 × 3 × 3

L.C.M = 3 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 2700

5-digit smallest number = 10000

So, the least number of five digits which is exactly divisible by 9, 12, 15, 25, and 27 = 2700 × 4 = 10800
