Correct Answer: 1887


Solution : LCM of 12, 16, and 24 = 48
Multiples of 48 which are between 550 and 700 such that they leave a remainder of 5 are:
48 × 12 + 5 = 581
48 × 13 + 5 = 629
48 × 14 + 5 = 677
$\therefore$ The sum of these numbers = 581 + 629 + 677 = 1887
Hence, the correct answer is 1887.
