Solution

The correct option is B 3600

Class 8 Maths chapter 6 important question 14

L.C.M of 8, 15 and 20 is (2 × 2 × 5 × 2 × 3) = 120.
120 = (2 × 2) × 5 × 2 × 3
Here, 5, 2 and 3 are not paired.
Therefore, we need to multiply 120 by (5 × 2 × 3) i.e. 30 to get a perfect square.
Hence, the smallest squared number which is divisible by numbers 8, 15 and 20 = 120× 30 = 3600
