Correct Answer: 7056


Solution : Let's find the correct least perfect square that is exactly divisible by each of 12, 84, and 24.
Prime factorization of 12 = ${2}^{2}×3$
Prime factorization of 84 = ${2}^{2}×3×7$
Prime factorization of 24 = ${2}^{3}×3$
Least Common Multiple = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 168
⇒ Required perfect square = 168 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 7056
Hence, the correct answer is 7056.
