An officer was appointed on maximum daily wages on contract money of Rs. 4956. But on being absent for some days, he was paid only Rs. 3894. For how many days was he absent?
The number students in each room = HCF of 70,98 and 126 =14 In each room , maximum 14 students can be seated. Total number students = 70 + 98 +126 =294 Number of rooms required = 294/14 =21
L.C.M. of 5,6,7,8 = 840. Required number is of the form 840k + 3 Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2. Required number = (840 X 2 + 3)=1683
