The options must satisfy 8(X)+1 constraint or subtracting 1 from options must give a multiple of 8
A. 131 => 131-1 = 130/8 (Non-Integer)
B. 137 => 137-1 = 136/8 (Integer)
C. 145 => 145-1 = 144/8 (Integer)
D. 153 => 153-1 = 152/8 (Integer)
E. 168 => 168-1 = 167/8 (Non-Integer)
Among B,C and D
B is the least integer value.
Answer is B

Which of the following is the smallest integer that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 8
Theory: Dividend = Divisor*Quotient + Remainder
=> Dividend - Remainder = Divisor*Quotient = Multiple of Quotient = Divisible by the Quotient
=> Option choice - 1 should be divisible by 8 for it to be the correct answer
Let's take each option choice and see which one satisfies this
A. 131
=> 131 - 1 = 130, which is NOT divisible by 8 => NOT POSSIBLE
B. 137
=> 137-1 = 136, which IS divisible by 8 => POSSIBLE
In Test, we don't need to solve further, but I am solving to complete the solution
C. 145
=> 145 - 1 = 144, which IS divisible by 8 => But it is NOT the smallest of all answer choices => NOT POSSIBLE
D. 153
=> 153 - 1 = 152, which IS divisible by 8 => But it is NOT the smallest of all answer choices => NOT POSSIBLE
E. 168
=> 168 - 1 = 167, which is NOT divisible by 8 => NOT POSSIBLE
So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!
