    D) 719

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here,     \[4-3=5-4=8-7=9-8=1\] Now,     \[4=2\times 2\]             \[5=5\]             \[8=2\times 2\times 2\]             \[9=3\times 3\] \[\therefore \]      \[\text{LCM}=5\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3=360\] Hence, required number \[=360-1=359\]
