10.
The least multiple of 7, which leaves a remainder of 4, when divided by 6, 9, 15 and 18 is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.
Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.
Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.
Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.

6+9+15+18 = 48.
48*7 = 336.
7*4 = 28.
Then 336+28 = 364.
364/48 = 7.5833.
Answer = 7.
Remainder = 4.
Is this right?
48*7 = 336.
7*4 = 28.
Then 336+28 = 364.
364/48 = 7.5833.
Answer = 7.
Remainder = 4.
Is this right?

Is it for all cases we put the value of remainder in k; e.g if 7 is remainder then we should keep the value of k = 7? Is it general or anything else?

Correct answer is 94. Read question carefully.

Divide all given answer by 7 when remainder remains 0 i.e correct answer or assume k.
Take LCM i.e 90 K+4.
Take LCM i.e 90 K+4.

It is given in the question that it should be least multiple of 7 which leaves remainder 4. So why don't it be 94. Please clarify.

Four different numbers are given. So take k=4 that's all.
