Question

the smallest number which when divided by 20,25,35 and 40 leaves a remainder of 14,19,29 and 34 respectively, is _______​

Answer 1

1394 is the answer.

First, take the LCM of 20, 25, 35 and 40 which comes out to be 1400.

Now,

14=20-6;

19=25-6;

29=35-6;

34=50-6;

So subtract common number 6 from 1400 which is 1400-6=1394

So the smallest number is 1394.
