What is the largest number which when divides 63, 77 and 112 leaves 3, 5 and 4 as remainders, respectively?

(A) 12
(B) 24
(C) 36
(D) 48
(E) 60

The answer needs to be a factor of \(63 -3 = 60\), \(77 - 5 = 72\), and \(112 - 4 = 108\). Since \(72 - 60 = 12\), this answer can only be 12 at most so we can only choose A. 12 is the LCM of 60, 72, and 108 as well.

Ans: A

(A) 12
(B) 24
(C) 36
(D) 48
(E) 60

if 63 divide by 12, 10 and 30 than remainder 3
77 divided by 30, remainder 17
77 divided by 10, remainder 7
77 divided by 12, remainder 5

if 112 divided by 12, remainder 4

So, Answer A
