What is the smallest number that should be subtracted from 1936 so that, when the result is divided by 9, 10 or 15, it leaves the same remainder of 5?
A
53
B
39
C
44
D
None of these
Correct Option:
D
Explanation
LCM(9, 10, 15) = 90. The greatest number below 1936 that leaves remainder 5 is 1895, so the required subtraction is 1936 − 1895 = 41. Since 41 is not listed, the answer is "None of these".
