CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The number must be a multiple of LCM⁡(16,24,40)=240\operatorname{LCM}(16, 24, 40) = 240.

  2. 10000÷240=4110000 \div 240 = 41 remainder 160, so the next multiple is 42×24042 \times 240.

  3. 42×240=10,08042 \times 240 = 10{,}080.

Worth noting

10,240 is divisible by 16 and 40 but not by 24. 10,320 is a multiple of 240, but not the smallest one.
