Correct Answer: 240


Solution : LCM of 3, 4, 5, and 7 is 420.
For a number to be divisible by 2, 4, 5, and 7, the number should be divisible by 420.
Now, on dividing 35460 by 420, we get 180 as the remainder.
So, the required number should be added to get the next multiple of 420 = 420 – 180 = 240
Hence, the correct answer is 240.
