  2. B
    92
  3. C
    95
  4. D
    99

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Notice the constant difference between divisor and remainder:




Thus, the general form of the number is:

Let's compute the LCM: $
x = 1680k - 8 x 17 1680 17 k (14k - 8) 17 k = 1: 14(1) - 8 = 6 k = 2: 14(2) - 8 = 20 k = 3: 14(3) - 8 = 34 17 34 / 17 = 2 k = 3 x 52 52 \times 96 = 4992 5032 - 4992 = 40 96$.
