What is the greatest number of 4 digits that when divided by any of the numbers 6, 9, 12, 17 leaves a remainder of 2?
1) 9792
2) 9982
3) 9794
4) 9906
5) None of these

• take L.C.M of all numbers i.e 6,9,12,17
  the L.C.M is 612 therefore 612 is divisible by all numbers
  so multiple of 612 will also be divisible by all the above numbers
  so 612*17=9792 which is divisible by all
  add 2 to 9792 to get a remainder of 2 as required in the question..
  so ans is 9792+2=9794
