    Re: There are some appleS...

    hi

    i think the ans os 946 apples! (plz correct ur spelling.U have written 'remember' instead of 'remainder')


    since LCM of 3,5,7,9 comes out to be 945

    945+1=946 (1 added since remainder was 1)


    also verify by dividng 946 by 11.V get remainder =0;

    hop my ans correct!

    bye

    Yeah Shenoy u r correct 946 is the answer...
    But small correction the LCM(Least Common Factor) for 3,5,7,9 is 315.
    From this solution we can know that the number that are divisible by 315 is also divisible by 3,5,7,9.
    Try adding 1 to 315 and divide it by 11 its not divisible.
    Multiply 315 by 2 and add 1 then divide it by 11 again its not divisible.
    Multiplying 315 by 3 gives 945 and add 1 then divide it by 11, now its divisible.

    Answer is 946

    hi

    infact i multiplied each term.i.e 3*5*7*9 =945


    945+1=946 (remainder 1 is added to the product result).


    sorry for writing LCM in my prev post


    bye
