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:

1677
1683
2523
3363

Correct Answer: 1683

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.
