Correct answer: C

We are given that a number leaves remainder 6 when divided by 12, 27, and 35.

Step 1: Subtract the remainder

If the number is N, then:
N−6 is divisible by 12,27, and 35

Step 2: Find LCM of 12, 27, and 35

  • 12=22×3

  • 27=33

  • 35=5×7

LCM=22×33×5×7= 4×27×35 =3780

Step 3: Add the remainder back

N=3780+6=3786
