Answer 2

Answer:

Option 4 - 3604

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A person can have such that when he distribute it into group of rs 16 or rs 18 or rs 20 or rs 25. he is always left with Rs. 4

To find : What is the least amount that a person can have?

Solution :

To solve this we take the LCM of all 4 numbers.

LCM is the least common multiple

So, LCM of 16,18,20,25 is

2 |    16  18  20  25

2 |    8   9    10   25

2 |    4   9    5   25

2 |    2   9    5   25

3 |    1   9    5   25

3 |    1   3     5   25

5 |    1   1      1     5

5 |    1   1      1     1

$LCM (16,18,20,25)=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3\times5\times5$

$LCM (16,18,20,25)=3600$

He is always left with Rs. 4

So, 3600+4=3604

Therefore, Option 4 is correct.

Total amount =Rs. 3604
