The least number which when divided by 5, 6 , 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder, is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840.
Required number is of the form 840k + 3
Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2.
Required number = (840 x 2 + 3) = 1683.

What is the Value of k?

Simply we can solve this by;
1+6+8+3=18
1+6+7+7=21
Same as other;
18 is divided by 9 and then B is correct.
1+6+8+3=18
1+6+7+7=21
Same as other;
18 is divided by 9 and then B is correct.

@All.
Hai I have a doubt, everyone is explaining from 840k+3 but here the doubt is we got lcm 840 if 5 6 7 8 divide the 840 answer is 0.
So, 840 + 3=843 now we will get remainder 3 but here 5 is divisor 840 is dividend so how you come 840k+3? Explain it.

Let (840k + 3) = 1683 [ 1683 taken from Option B].
Therefore, k = (1683-3)/840.
k = 1680/840,
k= 2.
Therefore, k = (1683-3)/840.
k = 1680/840,
k= 2.

Just divide all options by 9.

840/9 =93 and leaves reminder 3.
Now 9*93 + (3 * x +3) now find the value of x in (3* x + 3) which is divisible by 9.
If you put 2 then it is divisible by 9 i.e., (3*2+3).
So k=2.
Now 9*93 + (3 * x +3) now find the value of x in (3* x + 3) which is divisible by 9.
If you put 2 then it is divisible by 9 i.e., (3*2+3).
So k=2.

It clear when we put a value of k 1 then 5,6,7,8, leave the remainder 3 and 6 in case of 9. when k=2. in this case no remainder is left.

But concept of finding the value of k is still not clear.
Can anyone tell the concept except logical solution?

Divide each answer by 9 which one has no reminder that's answer.

we get LCM =840 since 843 is divided by 3
when we divide it by 9 it leaves a remainder of 6
since we need a least no. divided by three which also leaves 3 remainder
we put value of k=1, 2, 3.... till we get the required no.
