Correct Answer: 1141


Solution : If we add the remainder with the LCM of the numbers, we will get the required number.
LCM of (81, 63) = 567
The smallest number = 567k + 7 when k = 1
The second smallest number = 567k + 7 when k = 2
Hence, the required number = 567 × 2 + 7 = 1134 + 7 = 1141
Hence, the correct answer is 1141.
