Correct Answer: 30


Solution : The LCM of 2, 5, and 7 is 70.
Taking the 4-digit number which is divisible by 70 and lies between 4800 and 4900.
So, only one number exists(i.e. 70 × 69 = 4830). By equating both the numbers,
⇒ 48ab = 69 × 70 = 4830
On comparing,
⇒ a = 3 and b = 0
$\therefore$ (10a – b) = 30
Hence, the correct answer is 30.
