SSC CPO Tier I - 12th March 2019 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q108

What is the sum of the digits of the least number, which when divided by 12,16, and 54, leaves the same remainder 7 in each case, and is also completely divided by 13?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 16

LCM of 12, 16, 64 = 432

So,

Required number = 432 + 7 = 439, but it is not divided by 13.

So,

The next number = 432 × 2 + 7 = 871, it is divided by 13

Hence,

Required sum = 8 + 7 + 1 = 16
