Given,
Number is divisible by 7 and when divided by 5, 10, 12 and 15 leaves remainder 2 in each case
∴ Smallest number which is divisible by 5, 10, 12 and 15
= LCM of 5, 10, 12 and 15
Finding LCM
5 = 1× 5
10 = 2 × 5
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
15 = 3 × 5
∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60
∴ The number which when divided by 5, 10, 12 and 15 leaves remainder 2 in each case is (60n + 2) where, n is an integer.
Now, we have to find the smallest value of n for which (60n + 2) is divisible by 7.
For, n = 1, 60n + 2 = 62, not divisible by 7
For, n = 2, 60n + 2 = 122, not divisible by 7
For, n = 3, 60n + 2 = 182, which is divisible by 7
∴ Required number is 182
