  1. Question 1

    Q1. The least number which when divided by 16, 18 and 21, leave the remainder 3, 5 and 8 respectively is___________?

    • A) 982
    • B) 893
    • C) 1024
    • D) 995

    Answer: 995

    Explanation: LCM(16,18,21) = 1008. Each remainder is 13 less than its divisor (16−3=13, 18−5=13, 21−8=13), so the number = 1008 − 13 = 995.
