When 8, 16, 18, 20 and 25 divide the least number x, the remainder in each case is 3, but x is divisible by 7. What is the value of x?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 7203
LCM of 8,16,18,20,25 = 3600
x = 3600 + 3 = 3603 (not divisible by 7)
Next multiple: 3600 × 2 + 3 = 7203 ,divisible by 7
