Correct Answer: 18
Solution : Given: The least number which, when divided by 5, 6, 7, and 8, leaves a remainder of 3, and when divided by 9, leaves no remainder. LCM of 5, 6, 7, 8 = (2 × 5 × 3 × 7 × 2 × 2) = 840 It leaves the remainder of 3 in each case ⇒ 840 + 3 = 843 Now, check if it is divisible by 9 ⇒ $\frac{843}{9}$ It is not divisible by 9. So, the next number is 840 × 2 + 3 = 1683 Now, check if it is divisible by 9 ⇒ $\frac{1683}{9}$ = 187 So, the sum of the digits of the number 1683 is (1 + 6 + 8 + 3) = 18 Hence, the correct answer is 18.
