Which among the following is the least number which when divided by 10 leaves a remainder of 9, when divided by 9 leaves a remainder of 8, when divided by 8 leaves a remainder of 7, when divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 6, when divided by 6 leaves a remainder of 5, when divided by 5 leaves a remainder of 4, when divided by 4 leaves a remainder of 3, when divided by 3 leaves a remainder of 2, when divided by 2 leaves a remainder of 1?
(a)7559
(b)839
(c)5039
(d)None of these

• (Lcm of 10,8,9,7,6,5,4,3,2)- 1 = 2520 -1 =2519
  here 10-9 = 1, 9-8=1, ... 2-1=1
  so the common remainder is 1
  that is why minus 1 from the lcm

• option:-(D)
  whether a number is divided by two or not is 'take the last digit and divide by two if the remainder is zero then total number is divisible by two'
  whether a number is divided by three or not is 'sum of the digits is divide by three if the remainder is zero then total number is divisible by three'
  try for all.......

• if a number is divded by 7 givesr remainder as 5 and by 8 gives R as 6 and by 10 gives R as 8 then the number is
  ans: number = lcm of 7,5,8-k
