View full question & answer→Correct option: C.
$2521$
We have, $18=2 \times 3^2, 24=2^3 \times 3$
$30=2 \times 3 \times 5,42=2 \times 3 \times 7$
$\text{LCM} =2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7=2520$
So, required least number is $2520+1=2521$.
$30=2 \times 3 \times 5,42=2 \times 3 \times 7$
$\text{LCM} =2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 7=2520$
So, required least number is $2520+1=2521$.
