Solution

There is some mistake in the question .
the procedure to solve this kind of questions is given below. Check ur question and find the solution
When a number is divided by 7,9 and 11 it leaves 1,2 and 3 as remainders respectively
Subtract the remainder from the divisor, then
7-1=6
9-2=7
11-3=8
Repeat the above process until you get the same number
6-1=5=n
7-2=5 =n
8-3=5=n
When equal then
Smallest no=( Lcm -n)÷2
Lcm is the Lcm of the divisor
So Lcm of (7,9,11)=693
Number=(693-5)÷2
=688÷2
=344
