Correct Answer: 33


Solution : Given: Let $x$ be the least number divisible by 16, 24, 30, 36, and 45, also $x$ is a perfect square.
LCM of 16, 24, 30, 36, and 45 = 24 × 32 × 5 = 720
The number is not a perfect square.
⇒ 24 × 32 × 52 = 720 × 5 = 3600, which is a perfect square.
When the number 3600 is divided by 123, the remainder is 33 i.e. $x$ = 33
Hence, the correct answer is 33.
