Answer:
option (d) 475
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in each case, the difference between divisor and remainder is same, 5
6 – 1 = 5
8 – 3 = 5
10 – 5 = 5
12 – 7 = 5
Now, the number is divided by 6, 8, 10 and 12
∴ The LCM of 6, 8, 10, 12 = 120
Now it is given that the required number should be a multiplier of 13
∴ The required number should be (120x – 5); where ‘x’ is a variable
Now, we can write (120x – 5) as (114x + 6x – 5); where 114x is exactly divisible by 19
∴ To make the number (120x – 5) exactly divisible by 19, (6x – 5) must be divisible by 19
Now, if x = 4, then (6x – 5) = 19, which is exactly divisible by 19
∴ Our required number is (120 × 4 – 5) = 475
