• A. $25$
• B. $24$
• C. $20$
• D. $15$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$25$

The required number will be such that it leaves a reminder of 1 when divided by 2, 3 or 4 and no reminder when divided by 5.

Since 25 among the other options is a multiple of 5. So, the answer is 25.

Such a number is 25 among options.
