I thought it might be useful to show one way to find the LCM of large numbers:

IMO E.

Express each number in prime factors with each prime factor in exponetation notation.

LCM is the product of distinct prime factors having the highest exponents.

90 = 2 * 3^2 * 5
196 = 2^2 * 7^2
300 = 2^3 * 3 * 5^2
-------------------------
LCM = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5^2 * 7^2

Now coming to the ans choices all of them are multiples are 100 = 2^2 * 5^2.

Cancelling this part from the LCM we have 2 * 3^2 * 7^2.

Only E(49) cannot be formed from the above left over of LCM.

Mrs.Marthi,
I think u may have accidentally included an extra 2 in the lcm which led you to E.

Regards,
Cramya
