What Is The Smallest Positive Integer That Leaves A Remainder Of 1 When Divided By 2, Remainder Of 2 When Divided By 3, A Remainder Of 3 When Divided By 4, And A Remainder Of 9 When Divided By 10?
Pick one
A) 58	B) 59	C) 60	D) 61	E) 62

Rationale: remainder of 1 when divided by 2 : ( 2 - 1 = 1 ) remainder of 2 when divided by 3 : ( 3 - 2 = 1 ) remainder of 3 when divided by 4 : ( 4 - 3 = 1 ) remainder of 9 when divided by 10 : ( 2 - 1 = 1 ) so n + 1 should be divisible by 23 , 410 ( where n is desired number ) l . c . m . of 23 , 410 = 60 ( = n + 1 ) n = 59 answer : b
Answer: B
