- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Required number = (LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54) – 5 
 Now,LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54 
 LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 4 = 864Correct Option: BRequired number = (LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54) – 5 
 Now,LCM of 24, 32, 36 and 54 
 LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 4 = 864
 ∴ Required number = 864 – 5 = 859
-  The number nearest to 43582 divisible by each of 25, 50 and 75 is :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum LCM of 25, 50 and 75 = 150 
 On dividing 43582 by 150, remainder = 82 
 ∴ Required number = 43582 + (150 – 82)Correct Option: BLCM of 25, 50 and 75 = 150 
 On dividing 43582 by 150, remainder = 82 
 ∴ Required number = 43582 + (150 – 82) = 43650
-  The least number, which is a perfect square and is divisible by each of the numbers 16, 20 and 24, is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The smallest number divisible by 16, 20 and 24 
 = LCM of 16, 20 and 24 
 ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 3
 LCM = 22 × 22 × 5 × 3Correct Option: BThe smallest number divisible by 16, 20 and 24 
 = LCM of 16, 20 and 24 
 ∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 3
 LCM = 22 × 22 × 5 × 3
 ∴ Required complete square number = 22 × 22 × 52 × 32 = 3600
-  The largest 4-digit number exactly divisible by each of 12, 15, 18 and 27 is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As we know that Greatest n digit number which when divided by three numbers p,q,r leaves no remainder will be Required Number = (n – digit greatest number) – R , R is the remainder obtained on dividing greatest n digit number by L.C.M of p.q,r. 
 The largest number of 4-digits is 9999. L.C.M. of divisors 
 LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 540Correct Option: BAs we know that Greatest n digit number which when divided by three numbers p,q,r leaves no remainder will be Required Number = (n – digit greatest number) – R , R is the remainder obtained on dividing greatest n digit number by L.C.M of p.q,r. 
 The largest number of 4-digits is 9999. L.C.M. of divisors 
 LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 540
 Divide 9999 by 540, now we get 279 as remainder.
 9999 – 279 = 9720
 Hence, 9720 is the largest 4-digit number exactly divisible by each of 12, 15, 18 and 27.
-  The number nearest to 10000, which is exactly divisible by each of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, is :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum LCM of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840  
 Since, the remainder 760 is more than half of the divisor 840.Correct Option: BLCM of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840  
 Since, the remainder 760 is more than half of the divisor 840.
 ∴ The nearest number = 10000 + (840 – 760) = 10080
