A number lying between 1000 and 2000 is such that on division by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaves remainder respectively 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The number is
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Note that =
=\( \Large \left(2-1\right)= \left(3-2\right)= \left(4-3\right) \) \( \Large = \left(5-4\right)= \left(6-5\right)= \left(7-6\right)= \left(8-7\right)=1 \)
LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 is 800
Required number = (840k-1)
Since the number lies between 1000 and 2000, the value of k=2
The number is 1680 - 12 = 1679.
