Correct Answer: 147


Solution : Given: A number x is divisible by 8, 12, and 16.
It leaves a remainder of 3 in each case.
Taking the LCM of 8, 12 and 16 = ( 2×2×2×3×2) = 48
So, the number x = 48k + 3 (let k be any integer)
put k = 3 and then,
⇒ x = (48 × 3) + 3 = 147
Hence, the correct answer is 147.
