Find the least square number which is divisible by 10, 12, 15 and 18?
Correct answer: B. 900
- A. 1600
- B. 900
- C. 3600
- D. 2500Islamic Studies Quiz
Explanation
The least common multiple of 10, 12, 15 and 18 is 180 = 2² x 3² x 5. To make this a square, the factor 5 must also occur twice, so the least square multiple is 2² x 3² x 5² = 900. The likely mistake is option c, which is a square multiple but not the least one.

About Sequences and Series
Sequences describe ordered terms formed by a pattern, while series represent the sum of those terms. Questions cover arithmetic and geometric sequences, their nth terms, common difference or ratio, finite sums, and applications, with the sequence itself kept distinct from the corresponding series.
