Correct Answer: 17


Solution : The given numbers are 2, 4, 6 and 8.
The least number which is exactly divisible by a, b and c is the L.C.M of a, b and c.
Now, LCM of 2, 4, 6 and 8 is 24
By dividing 24 from 1351 we get 7 as the remainder
So, the required number which should be added = 24 – 7 = 17
Hence, the correct answer is 17.
