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
