    D 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    LCM of 9, 15, 20 and 35 = 1260

    Since, 1260 = (2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7)

    To make it a perfect square, multiply by (2 × 5 × 7) = 70

    So, required number = 1260 × 70 = 88200

    88200 ÷ 88 = 1002 × 88 + 24

    So, desired remainder = 24
