If x is divisible by 2,14 and 11,then x must be a multiple of 2,7 and 11.
Hence,the least multiple of x will be 2*7*11=154.

i have a concern with this question.
0 is the smallest multiple of every number.
Zero can't be a factor but it sure as hell is a multiple of every number.
I would like to see a zero in the options.
Or maybe add the word positive.
Else off course 154 is the answer (LCM)

No need to calculate LCM , from the given options check whether the option can be divided by 2 , 11 & 14..

One needs to go no further than (B) , hence that's our correct answer...

The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number (not zero) that is a multiple of both.

Please revise the concept

We need to determine the LCM of 2, 14, and 11 or the LCM of 2^1, (7^1 x 2^1), and 11^1. To determine the LCM, we multiply the largest exponent of each unique prime factor.

Thus, the LCM is:

2^1 x 7^1 x 11^1 = 154

Answer: B
