Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 17.
Given that
The least number which should be added to 1351
So, the sum is exactly divisible by 2,4,6 and 8

According to the question
Divide 1351 by 24 = 7 as remainder
Hence, the number added = 24 - 7 = 17
