Q:

A) 1020 B) 1040
C) 1060 D) 1022

Answer:   D) 1022

Explanation:


Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is 60.Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.

Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is 1022.
