Given:

Five-digit number 750PQ is divisible by 3, 7 and 11

Concept used:

Concept of LCM

Calculation:

The LCM of 3, 7, and 11 is 231.

By taking the largest 5-digit number 75099 and dividing it by 231.

If we divide 75099 by 231 we get 325 as the quotient and 24 as the remainder.

Then, the five-digit number is 75099 - 24 = 75075.

The number = 75075 and P = 7, Q = 5

now,

P + 2Q = 7 + 10 = 17

∴ The value of P + 2Q is 17.
