Correct Answer: 1683


Solution : The LCM of 5, 6, 7, and 8 is 840.
If 3 is added to 840 it becomes 843, which, when divided by 5, 6, 7, and 8, leaves the remainder of 3.
843 is not completely divisible by 9 and hence, we will take multiples of 840
The required number will be in the form of 840K + 3 (where K is any integer)
After putting K = 2, we get 1683 which is completely divisible by 9.
Hence, the correct answer is 1683.
