What is the sum of the digits of the least number, which when divided by 12, 16 and 54. leaves the same remainder 7 in each case,
and is also completely divisible by 13?
36
9
16
27
To solve this problem, let's break down the requirements:
- We need a number x such that x≡7(mod12), x≡7(mod16), and x≡7(mod54). This implies that x−7 is a common multiple of 12, 16, and 54.
- Calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of 12, 16, and 54:
- Prime factors for 12: 22×3
- Prime factors for 16: 24
- Prime factors for 54: 2×33
- LCM is 24×33=432.
- Hence, x=432k+7 for some integer k.
- x must also be divisible by 13, so solve 432k+7≡0(mod13).
Now, check possible values:
- Test small values of k to find divisibility by 13:
- k=1→432×1+7=439 (not divisible by 13)
- k=5→432×5+7=2167
- Check: 2167 is divisible by 13. Sum of digits: 2+1+6+7 = 16.
- Correct Option: 3. 16
