Correct Option E

LCM of 2,3,5,6 = 60

I - 60/3 = 30 - (yes)
II - 60/4 = 15 - (yes)
III - 60/6 = 15 - (yes)

Option E,

If \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{a}{(2)(3)(5)(6)}\), which of the following options are factors of \(a\)?

I. 3
II. 4
III. 6

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II only
E. I, II, and III
\(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{a}{(2)(3)(5)(6)}\)

Or, \(\frac{15+10+6+5}{30} = \frac{a}{(2)(3)(5)(6)}\)

Or, \(\frac{36}{30} = \frac{a}{30}\)

\(a = 36 = 2^2*3^2\)

So, All the options , 3 , 4 & 6 are factors of 36 , Answer must be (E)

LCM will be 30, rest is perfect, though 30 or 60 makes no difference as 60 is a multiple of 30.
