So,forfindingtherequiredleastnumber, between 70000 and 75000 For a number to bedivisibleby3,7and
we need to deduct the difference as we put k = 3, 11 it should be divisible by 231
obtained above from the LCM of the Required number = 24750 × 3 + 61 And on dividing 67600 by 231 we get
divisors. = 74311 remainder as 148

So, sum of digits = 7 + 9 + 0 + 0 = 16 24,750 × k + 61, The next multiple is 67600 + 83 = 67683
Here digital sum = 9 + 6 + 1 = 16, So, x = 8 and y = 3

S ⇒ 16 = 6 + 1 = 7. 3x - 5y = 24 - 15 = 9
As prime numbers have 2 factors Only option (c) gives digital sum equal to 7.
