View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Lowest 4-digit number is 1000. LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is 60. Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020. Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is 1022
