(E) 30
1044/33 gives 21 as the remainder.
1047/33 gives 24 as the remainder.
1050/33 gives 27 as the remainder.
1053/33 gives 30 as the remainder.
Again we find the remainders when 21*24/33 and 27*30/33
21*24/33 gives 9 as the remainder.
27*30/33 gives 18 as the remainder.
So, 9*18/33 gives 30 as the remainder, which is less than 33.

The correct answer is E.
