But 90 (assuming n = 30 as given by the answer) isn't a factor of 1815
Infact, none of the numbers mentioned in the list, when multiplied by 3, are factors of 1815.

... unless I have grossly misundertsood the question :)

15
18
30
33
45

Ans : C
1815 is the greatest possible factor of 1815
Since (3)(605)=1815, we can see that if n=605 then 3n will be a factor of 1815

So, the answer must be [spoiler]605 (which does not appear as an answer choice)[/spoiler]

Cheers,
Brent

Since I haven't looked into all of its questions, I wouldn't go as far as denouncing the entire website :-), but I can tell you that question #20 has some problems.

Cheers,

Yes 605 is the rite answer here considering 1815 is the largest factor of 1815.
if we have to find the value of N and largest factor is not equal to 1815 then the ans will be 121.
This time no looking back!!!
