This question was previously asked in
OTET 2026 Social Studies Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

687

Note that in each case, divisor minus remainder is the same: 7-1=6, 9-3=6, 11-5=6. So the required number = LCM(7,9,11) - 6. Since 7, 9, 11 are pairwise coprime, LCM = 7×9×11 = 693. Required number = 693 - 6 = 687. Hence option (D) is correct.
