    4210

    Incorrect Answer

    4200

    Incorrect Answer

    4205

    Incorrect Answer

    4195

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    Let’s break down the problem:

    - We need the least number N such that:

    N = 10 (mod 15)

    N = 20 (mod 25)

    N = 30 (mod 35)

    N = 35 (mod 40)

    - Notice a pattern:

    The remainder is always "divisor minus 5".

    So, N+5 is divisible by 15, 25, 35, 40.

    - Find LCM of 15, 25, 35, 40:

    15 = 3×5

    25 = 5×5

    35 = 5×7

    40 = 2³×5

    LCM = 2³×3×5²×7 = 4200

    - Therefore, N + 5 = 4200, so N = 4200 - 5 = 4195

    Let’s verify the options:

    - Option 1: 4210

    4210 + 5 = 4215, not a multiple of 4200

    - Option 2: 4200

    4200 + 5 = 4205, not a multiple of 4200

    - Option 3: 4205

    4205 + 5 = 4210, not a multiple of 4200

    - Option 4: 4195

    4195 + 5 = 4200, which IS a multiple of 4200

    So, the correct answer is:

    Option:4, 4195
